Denim is used as a synonym for jeans, but is that true? Yes and no. Denim is a weaving technique, a so-called twill weave. You can recognize it by the diagonal line in the fabric. This way of weaving makes the fabric sturdy and durable.

Handwoven denim

The fabric of these jeans is handwoven in Khamir, a weaving cluster in northwestern India in the state of Gujarat. Here the weavers work with an old, native cotton that has been organically grown in this region for centuries. To weave denim, a special loom is needed (of at least 3 shafts). It is therefore a weaving technique that not every weaver masters and for which special training is required.

Natural black paint

These denim pants are dyed with a natural dye. Natural black paint is made with oxidized iron, nuts and flowers, among other things, and is a time-consuming process. The dye never becomes inky black, but brownish black. A 'soft' black, as it were.
