Denim Days Digital 2020

Of course we missed the smell and atmosphere of a “live-edition” but the advantage is that we could have many meetings and follow all lectures while sitting comfortably at home. Let’s stay positive !

One of the interviewed persons: Tonny Tonnaer of Dutch jeans brand Kings of Indigo.

Who’s been interviewed at many events. Why? KOI has a clear strategy: making the collection as sustainable and recycled as possible. He is an example to many in the jeans industry and collaborates with many parties to make his dream come true.

From sustainable to circular production

Much has changed in the industry, and a new mindset was created. Most of the jeans brands are trying to produce more circular. The following key-points are the main focus of KOI:

  1. Waste management
  2. Less water use
  3. Planet friendly materials
  4. Social responsibility
  5. Transport

Other interviews

Another dutch jeans brand: Amsterdenim, founded in 2014, was interviewed. Unique about this brand? Not only the design but also the tanning of the jeans is done in The Netherlands. Fun fact – dutch singer Douwe Bob is co-owner of the brand.

Alberto Candiani, one of the most influential persons in the denim industry, spoke about his new jeans material of Tencel. And together with Kings of Indigo they created a new concept: Re-Gen.

The young generation wants to change things and are focussed on a sustainable and circular world. How can we make this happen? By making the right choices, use our common sense and work with the right partners.

Together we can make things happen!
