Nudie Jeans Brand Guide

Who are Nudie Jeans?

Born in Sweden in 1999, the Nudie Jeans brand was founded by a former design director of Lee Jeans – Maria Erixon. Nudie was always designed to be a denim purist’s dream. Focusing heavily on dry, unwashed denim, Nudie has become synonymous with the process of breaking in a pair of raw jeans and using them as a canvas to convey the wear and tear of your life story.

Do Nudie Jeans Use Sustainable Methods?

Not many designer fashion brands can make bold claims like that of the Nudie Jeans brand. One of the first brands to spearhead a movement into ethical and sustainable production, Nudie has become a leader in ensuring that their jeans are not only produced to a fantastic standard but that everyone involved in the process gets their fair share. From the guys in the factory in Italy to the workers in the fields picking the cotton for your pair of Nudie jeans, everyone involved gets paid a fair wage. However, Nudie go further than caring for every tier of their workforce. Sustainable production means using materials that are always readily available in the future. Since their birth, Nudie’s key goal has always been to use 100% organic cotton for their jeans, and in 2012, they became one of the first labels to achieve exactly that.

Nudie has done this through one very clear message- every pair of raw, unwashed Nudie jeans, should be worn every day, without being washed or treated for a minimum of 6 months. This concept was never going to be something new to the denim heads of the fashion industry, but Nudie was one of the first brands to push the idea of creating individual washes and effects through heavy wear. This sparked a slight change in denim trends. The idea of owning a pair of raw jeans and making them your own was previously reserved for denim fanatics, but with Nudie pushing it into the mainstream fashion industry, more and more people were choosing raw denim over heavily worked washes that were all the range in the late ’90s and early noughties.

The Nudie Jeans brand is a breath of fresh air for an industry that is quickly becoming a throwaway icon. Not just passionate about creating jeans that are environmentally friendly, Nudie has become infamous for implementing a number of innovative projects. Actively encouraging you to repair your jeans, Nudie wants you to wear them to their death, through offering free repair services and repair kits at their stores, to giving instructional videos on their website on how to care for and maintain your denim, they don’t want you to give up your jeans lightly.

Nudie believes that wearing your jeans is a journey to creating something truly unique, and wants you to live with and enjoy that process for as long as possible. When your jeans finally do die, Nudie wants them back. You can take them into any Nudie jeans shop and donate them to their denim recycling programme. Nudie will then shred them down and recycle them, turning them into a brand new pair, which will become part of the denim rolls used on a limited edition batch of jeans.

Innovation then is no stranger to Nudie Jeans. Coming out of Sweden at a time where Swedish brands are hot property makes their timeless denim even more desirable- and a modern-day approach to ethical production sets them aside from a huge pack of denim brands that are struggling to keep up with one of the fastest-growing jean labels in the world.
