About Denim And Organic Denim

Denim is a sturdy wrap-faced textile traditionally made with 100% cotton. It derives its diagonal ribbing texture that is distinguishable from cotton by the twill-weaving procedure where the weft - which is 1 thread of unbleached yarn - is passed under 2 or more warp threads - which is dyed cotton yarn. Hence the denim fabric shows the blue or black or whatever dyed colour on the surface while the inside colour is white only.

At the outset, it's acknowledged that denim made in the bad way uses cotton grown with massive amounts of water, using harmful herbicides and pesticides and environmentally harmful dyes.

Thankfully there are now new technologies for growing cotton using up to 98% less water and without the use of harmful chemicals. Resulting in 100% organic cotton, sustainable and bio-degradable textile.

The denim can be made with the addition of other eco-friendly organic textiles like hemp, lyocell.
