German fashion brand Closed has teamed up with Italian denim mill
Candiani for a 100 percent degradable denim collection.
The capsule collection, which comprises jeans and jackets for both women
and men, is made using organic cotton and biodegradable stretch yarn
Coreva, which is developed by Candiani.
Traditionally metal buttons and studs have been swapped out for natural
versions with cellulose origins, the Closed logo is lasered on instead of
printed on leather, and a Tencel thread holds the garments together.
This all results in an entire collection of garments that can be
degraded within about six months in compost without any microplastic
residue or chemical emission.
Launching in February, the collection comprises two jeans fits for
women, Gill and
X-Lent, plus the jacket Twist. The men on the other hand have the choice
between the fits X-Lent and Drop with a classic denim jacket.
