For many years, Denim has been and continues to be a crucial piece of clothing. In the 18th century, when cotton was produced in great abundance, denim clothing first appeared on the fashion scene. Denim has unbeatable qualities of durability and resistance to tearing. Jeans provide the person with a stylish, trendy, and youthful appearance. They are worn by people of all ages, in all colors, and at all times and places. While fashion trends come and go, denim is the one that will never go out of style.
Variety is the key to the present fashion, which sees denim as a garment with bold styles to keep up with the fast-paced way of life. More detailing, bleached effects, patchwork, and a variety of unique washes are among the newest trends in men’s denim.

For the past few decades, conventional threads have been used to stitch denim all over the world. These threads have performed beyond exceptional. However, there were still some areas of clothing that cried out for improvement. In light of this, we decided to use innovation’s power to respond to these calls.

ecoCORE : Solution for Laser Wash Technology
Denim is a popular fashion staple, but its environmental impact is significant. The industry consumes a significant amount of water, energy, and chemicals, leading to waste and greenhouse gas emissions. To reduce these impacts, denim brands are adopting sustainable methods like laser technology, mechanical abrasion, ozone fading, waterjet fading, and tinting techniques.
Laser wash, a water-free method, has been adopted by some brands to create unique, distressed jeans. This technology has increased output per workplace by 500% and reduced fabric strength loss by 50%. Laser technology and eco-washing machines have also shown significant environmental benefits, saving energy, water, and chemicals. By adopting sustainable techniques, the denim industry can save millions of liters of water, power, and chemicals annually. However, more work is needed to reduce the environmental impacts of the denim industry.
