Denim Exports To USA By Vietnam Grow Sharply | 2014-18

Vietnam , one of the most favourable country these days when it comes to Textile & Garments including Denim. A Country which holds 10 bilateral and multilateral trade agreements, including ASEAN Free Trade Area, five ASEAN+1 FTAs, and FTAs with Japan, South Korea, Chile , Russia and the Eurasia Economic Union and a country which is expected to execute CPTPP & EVFTA by the end of this year. Vietnam has evolved as a major denim player in past few years and expected to grow faster in coming years due to its geography and advantages due to its demographics and policies. Statistics shows that by the end of 2017, Vietnam had attracted 2,079 projects in the garment-textile sector with total capital of 15.75 billion USD, up 10 percent year-on-year.Â Investors come from 57 countries and territories nationwide, with major ones from Taiwan and Hong Kong (China) and the Republic of Korea (RoK). Growth of exports of denim from Vietnam was over 25% in 2017 !

In the first six months of this year, reports have confirmed that the investment worth 2.8 billion USD in FDI was injected into Vietnamâ€™s garment-textile industry . The Chief of Vietnam Textile And Apparel Association (VITAS) asserted that Vietnamâ€™s garment-textile export revenue is going to hit 200 billion USD by 2035.Â Denim is also major part in the entire periphery of Textile & Garment and is expected to achieve an annual growth rate of 30% so far as US export is concerned . The country is also getting strong hold in EU market and post the implementation of EVFTA , the country will become stronger.

After the tariff war between US and China , a substantial production shift in Vietnam is expected and if the trade war remains for longer time , Chinaâ€™s loss will be Vietnamâ€™s gain. In this report , weâ€™ve analysed the denim exports of Vietnam to US from 2014 to June 2018 and it gives an idea how the country is growing rapidly.

There is lot to come for Vietnam , recently Chinese Denim Companies PROSPERITY got the final nod for their factory in Vietnam . The Investment has been constantly flowing into Vietnam from Hongkong , South Korea and Canada. Korean company TCE is in process of expanding three times the size. The country needs to strengthen its capacity not in terms of finished goods but also in terms of raw material as well . Hopefully after the implementation of CPTPP and EVFTA , we will see a huge expected jump in the investment and exports from Vietnam.

Analysing Global Searches For Jeans At Google
Google is the largest storehouse of knowledge globally with its huge databases of searches, documents, books and much more. It is not a repository of information , but it is perhaps the only organization which has an accurate assimilation of needs and wants of global population . Almost everyone using internet searches Google and leave their mark of what they are looking for , their needs, desires etc. Google stores all this information and then its very easy for it retrieve the same in the format required. Eg , Google would be able to give answers to questions like â€“ People of which cities are looking for different varieties of pizzas, from where people are looking to travel to space, where can we find people who are looking most for higher education etcÂ etc .
If we apply the same to our industry, we can also find how are consumers looking for jeans globally. Which are the cities where jeans search is the highest or what kind of jeans they are searching for . Lets dive into the Google trends to look for some answers.

Global Search For Denim in last 1 year

As we can see from above pictures, global search for keyword â€œDenimâ€Â and â€œDenimâ€ remains more or less the same with little fluctuations.Â So we can safely predict that consumer interest in denim . However, when we look at a 5 year period from September 2013,, we find that the interest had spiked almost 30% with the current level being considered as 100.Â All these figures are relative terms and not absolute .

Which country is relatively searching more for keyword â€œJeansâ€

From the above picture we can see that UK , Sweden, Brazil, Australia and Germany are the top 5 countries where searches related to â€œJeansâ€ are maximum relative to their total searches. This means that people in these countries are searching jeans vigorously. Besides, it would be important to understand what are the related keywords which they use when they are searching for jeans. We check this by each country :

United Kingdom

UK searches for the below mentioned keywords which are considered as Top Keywords people use to search for denim.

But when we look at the recent queries related to â€œjeansâ€ which are getting popular , we find the following results for UK. These queries give good insight into what the consumers are looking for . Are they looking for â€œOne size fits all jeansâ€ ? A very pertinent question for retailers, brands and others in the supply chain to consider. It is a good indication of consumer preferences and their likes . Similarly we have a look at the TOP queries related to Jeans in Sweden , Brazil, Australia and GermanyÂ and find that population of each country is looking at jeans in its own unique way.

Sweden

Top searches related to â€œJeansâ€

Sweden

Recent searches related to â€œJeansâ€

So as we study all the results above , we can draw following conclusions :
- UK, Sweden , Australia , Brazil and Germany are the countries where â€œjeansâ€ as a keyword is searched most relatively . When we say relatively, it means within their total searches. It Does Not mean that these are the largest consumers of jeans or that other countries love jeans any less.
- The search queries are different over different periods â€“ 1 year and recent. The recent searches show the latest preferences of people on what they are searching related to jeans.
- Each country has their own search preference. This can give retailers and brands direction on what each country is looking for.
- All these searches are indicative and as we change the search terms, the results will change. However, we can get a goodÂ broad idea from the above.
We will continue this series with a few more indepth analysis !

1. Denim Export By Morocco To EU | 2015-2018

Morocco has been an important denim player in EU and has witnessed an encouraging growth figures in past few years however this year seems not well placed in terms of growth. The predicted growth is negative and is expected to be around â€“9.23% . It is the same country which had registered a massive growth of 30.5% in the year of 2016. In 2015, the total denim exports to EU were 10.13 Million Pcs which saw the highest growth of 30.50% in 2016 and reached upto 13.22 million pcs. In 2017, the export grew however the growth rate suffered and dropped down substantially at 0.83% only. In the 1st six months of 2018, the denim export is 6.05 million pcs which is expected to reach at 12.10 million pcs by the end of this year if the country keeps the same pace. The price graph has also seen a downward movement with prices falling about 1.07 Euro per piece in 3 years.

Years	Â Denim Apparels ( Million Pcs)	Average Price ( Euro/Pc)	Growth ( %)
2015	10.13	12.79	–
2016	13.22	11.27	30.50%
2017	13.33	11.63	0.83%
2018(Till June)	6.05	11.72
2018( Estimated)	12.10		-9.23%

2. % Share Of Men & Women Denim In Total Exports To EU

Segregating the imports of total denim apparels into Men & Women, we drew the conclusion that over the tenure of 4 years, Morocco exported more Menâ€™s denim in 2015 as compared to Womenâ€™s denim and the variance was close to 14% however post 2015, there were some more minor drop downs in the exports of Womenâ€™s Denim Pcs noticed. In the year 2015 , 2016 and 2017 , the export of womenâ€™s denim apparels were 43% , 39%and 40%Â respectively against the export of menâ€™s denim apparels which were 57%, 61% and 64%Â respectively for the same corresponding years. The average price of womenâ€™s denim apparels remained lesser than menâ€™s denim apparel during this period. Thus we can see more growth in womenâ€™s denim rather than menâ€™s. Year 2018 will be the year of shift and if all went as per the pace of 1st six months of this year, Menâ€™s denim will gain 3% share in the total denim exports and the same will be lost by Womenâ€™s denim which will cause shrink in the total share of womenâ€™s denim at 36% only in the total denim exports.

Years	% Share Of Men Denim	% Share Of Women Denim
2015	57%	43%
2016	61%	39%
2017	60%	40%
2018	64%	36%

3. Average Price Of Men & Women Denim

Years	Average Price Men Denim( Euro/Pc)	Average Price Of Women Denim( Euro/Pc)
2015	12.58	13.06
2016	11.16	11.45
2017	11.59	11.68
2018	11.84	11.5

4. Denim Export By Tunisia To EU | 2015-2018

In 2015 , the total denim exports to EU by Tunisia was 18.26 Million Pcs which saw a fairly reasonable growth of 4.93%Â in 2016 and reached to 19.16 million pcs . In 2017 , the export tumbled at the decline rate ofÂ -5.17%Â . In the 1st six months of 2018 , the denim export stood at 9.87 million pcs which is expected to reach at 19.74 million pcs by the end of this year if the country keeps the same pace. The decline is expected to be turned into a growth rate which may reach upto 8.64% by the end of this year. The average price also seems to come down at it best as in the first half , the price has been reported at 17.30 Euro/Pc which is the lowest if we compare from the previous two years which were 17.67 and 17.46 Euro/Pcs . The trend in the price shows the country is becoming more competitive in price slowly .

Years	Â Denim Apparels ( Million Pcs)	Average Price ( Euro/Pc)	Growth ( %)
2015	18.26	17.08	–
2016	19.16	17.46	4.93%
2017	18.17	17.67	-5.17%
2018( Till June)	9.87	17.30
2018( Estimated)	19.74		8.64%

5. % Share Of Men & Women Denim In Total Exports To EU

Segregating the imports of total denim apparels into Men & Women , we drew the conclusion that over the tenure of 4 years , Tunisia exported more menâ€™s denim however the share has started shrinking post 2016 by 1% each year. In 2018 , the expected share for menâ€™s denim is 64% and 36% for womenâ€™s denim.Â Hence Tunisia is mainly a male garment exporter. When it comes to analyzing the price trend of both the categories , the price of menâ€™s denim has been increasing over the years however womenâ€™s denim fell more than Euro 1 in past 4 years which could be a reason of increase in the exports of womenâ€™s denim in recent times .

Years	% Share Of Men Denim	% Share Of Women Denim
2015	66%	34%
2016	67%	33%
2017	65%	35%
2018	64%	36%

6. Average Price Of Men & Women Denim

Years	Average Price Men Denim( Euro/Pc)	Average Price Of Women Denim( Euro/Pc)
2015	17.33	16.58
2016	17.85	16.68
2017	18.36	16.4
2018	18.33	15.48

7. Denim Export By Egypt To EU | 2015-2018

Increasing returns , this is what Egyptian Denim Export is behaving when we talk about its export to EU for the period 2015-18 . In 2015 , the total denim exports to EU was 7.7 Million Pcs which saw the increase of 14.42 % in 2016 and reached upto 8.81 million pcs . In 2017 , the export again noticed a rise, however the growth rate was even better than 2016 and it wasÂ Â 15.89%Â . In the 1st six months of 2018 , the denim export stood at 6 million pcs which is expected to reach upto 12 million pcs by the end of this year if the country keeps the same pace. The results seems beyondÂ expectations and Egypt is expected to have the growth rate of 17.53% by the end of 2018. One good this in this four years is that , the country has managed to be competitive in terms of price and we can see the trend of average price over the period of four years. In the beginning the price was 12.37 Euro/Pc which came to 11.21 Euro/Pc in 2016.Â This shows that Egypt is now concentration more on value added denim and has average price almost same as Morocco and Tunisia. A few years back , Egypt was a low value supplier exporting low priced jeans. It seems to have climbed up the value chain.

Years	Â Denim Apparels ( Million Pcs)	Average Price ( Euro/Pc)	Growth ( %)
2015	7.7	12.37	–
2016	8.81	11.21	+14.42%

2018( Estimated)	12	–	+17.53%

8. % Share Of Men & Women Denim In Total Exports To EU

Segregating the imports of total denim apparels into Men & Women, we drew the conclusion that over the tenure of 4 years,Egypt has been a dominantly Women denim garment exporter . However as the time flew , the country shifted from womenâ€™s denim and increased their men’s jeans exports . In the year 2015 , the share of Menâ€™s : Womenâ€™s Denim ratio wasÂ 41:59 however by the end of 2018 , it is being expected to reach at 52:48.

Years	% Share Of Men Denim	% Share Of Women Denim
2015	41%	59%
2016	44%	56%
2017	47%	53%
2018	52%	48%

9. Comparison of Exports Made By Morocco , Tunisia and Egypt

Below are the summarized details of exports made by three countries from 2015 to 2018. On the whole, Tunisia ranks 1, Morocco 2 and Egypt is at 3. So far as the price is concerned, Egypt reported the lowest average price which is 10.53 Euro/Pc and not only the price , the country has reported the highest growth in terms of exports among three countries. Tunisia is exporting at the highest price of 17.93Euro/pc and Moroccoâ€™s average price stood at 11.72 Euro/Pc. If we check the growth trends, 2018 seems great for Egypt however Morocco may face tough time as its export is expected to decline substantially in 2018.

Foam Dyeing–The New Sustainable Frontier For Denim Fabrics
Wrangler recently announced the adoption of Foam dyed indigo fabrics to be used in their jeans. The fabric is to be made at the Spanish denim mill Tejido Royo and will be shipped , starting from December , to Wranglerâ€™s garment vendors globally .

â€œWhile we have been able to reduce 3 billion liters of water in product finishing during the past 10 years, we know that more needs to be done across the entire supply chain,â€ said Wrangler President Tom Waldron. â€œFoam technology reduces water consumption and pollution further upstream, helping our fabric suppliers to dramatically minimize the impacts of making denim fabric blue.â€

So what is Foam dyeing and why is Wrangler adopting it ?

Late lastÂ year representatives from across the apparel industry gathered at the Fiber and Bio Polymer Research Institute of Texas Tech University for the reveal of a disruptive, new foam-dyeing process for producing denim. Early stage investors, including Wrangler, Lee and the Walmart Foundation were on hand for the event, hosted by Indigo Mill Designs (IMD).

â€œA large fabric mill uses millions of gallons of water every day to dye denim,â€ explains Sudhakar Puvvada, who leads denim innovation work for Wrangler and Leeâ€™s Global Innovation Center and served as an advisor to IMD. â€œIMDâ€™s innovation can greatly reduce that amount and cut the energy needed for dyeing and wastewater treatment.”

An article by R.Tharpe of Indigo Mill Designs(North Carolina) , D Etheridge of Fiber and Polymer Research Institute (Texas) and H Malpass of Denim Dyeing Technical Service LLC â€“ the creators of this technology â€“ is quite indicative of how this process works . We bring some excerpts from the article, the complete article can be downloaded here .
Denim is being challenged partly because of its enormous volume and partly because of its dyeing method. Indigo, the unique colorant for ubiquitous blue jeans, is highly sustainable; safe enough to be widely used as a food colorant. However, the indigo dyeing process is criticized for poor sustainability, primarily because sulphur reducing compounds and large amounts of problematic wastewater are required with current dyeing methods. Foam dyeing is a watersaving, environmentally friendly technology that is increasingly used around the world, primarily for fabrics. Its use for indigo dyeing of denim yarns has been hindered by the fact that indigo becomes insoluble in the presence of oxygen. The research reported here developed a foam dyeing system that eliminates the oxygen until the dyeing process is completed and the yarns are ready to be oxidized. Results to date have demonstrated that speed of the dyeing process can be multiplied, dye uptake and dye fastness improved, water and energy use greatly reduced, floor space required for dyeing dramatically reduced, and all without the use of the sulphur compoundsâ€¦â€¦

The continuous Rope dyeing system was introduced in 1921 and there are vat boxes for indigo dyeing . There are seldom less than six such vats, with up to twelve being common. Sizes of each one of these range from 500 to 1,500 gallons of fluid capacity. These are accompanied by a multitude of guiding rollers and multiple 5,000-to-10,000-gallon storage tanks. The footprint on a factory floor may be 100 meters long. In addition to being a slow-moving, water-intensive technology producing large amounts of salts, the dyed â€˜ropesâ€™ â€“ consisting of about 400 individual yarns â€“ must be re-beamed (separated into individual yarns for weaving). This is a slow, tedious task that is very labor-intensive.

The new patent-pending design consisted of three sequential chambers to ensure an anaerobic environment for dyeing:

1. A purge chamber that removes oxygen from the yarns before going into an application chamber. Among other things, this contributes toward eliminating the use of sulphur reducing compounds.
2. An application chamber that precisely controls the delivery of foam-based dye liquor to deliver the dye liquid from the collapsed foam in a manner that enables control of dye uptake and penetration.
3. A kinetic chamber that modulates the dye absorption to minimize the amounts of detrimental surface indigo and wasted indigo, enhance the darkness and purity of the blue, and improve the color fastness.

The yarn handling system was designed to deliver 40 yarns from a small beam through the dyeing system and rewind the dyed yarns onto another beam. It provides computerized control of yarn tensions from beginning to end. It was designed to reach a maximum speed of 100 yards per minute (ypm). Added to the system is a creel with computerized control of yarn tensions, so that yarn packages can be fed directly into the yarn handling system. Fabrication of the foam generator and the three-stage, anaerobic foam dyeing system was contracted to Gaston Systems2 . It delivers precisely metered foam directly to the 40-yarn sheet as it passes over a sequence of rollers. It is coordinated by computerized feedback with the yarn handling system, so that constant yarn tension is maintained throughout. It enables real-time adjustments for foam blow ratios and wet pick-up levels. It also automatically adjusts these variables if the speed of the yarn movement is adjusted.The system was completed by the addition of an oxidation and drying rack between the kinetic chamber and the yarn take-up beam. The yarns need time to oxidise before drying, because moisture is necessary for oxidation to occur. Fortunately, oxidation occurs quite rapidly and the design of the rack is adequate even when running at maximum speed. However, the infrared drying capacity we used is generally inadequate when the yarns are running faster than 40 yards per minute; therefore, it is being increased.

The image above from the article shows a demo setup of dyeing â€“ which of course might be bigger when it comes to larger scales.

Some of the results as per the authors are :
- Effective dyeing is obtained on yarns taken from spinning machines. Thus, the costly and water-intensive pre-treatment of yarns required with the traditional technology may be eliminated.
- Dyeing is efficient at speeds between 20 and 100 yards per minute (ypm); therefore, since the yarn handling system does not run faster than 100 ypm, a maximum running speed is not yet known.
- Keeping the oxygen content below a threshold is critical to the shade and dye fastness. This is true in both the application chamber and the kinetic chamber.
- Effective dyeing on most yarns may be achieved at moisture levels that leave the yarn just damp to the touch, which require a small amount of heat to dry.
- The flexibility of the system enables control of dye placement within the yarns to greater extremes than is now possible with conventional technology.
- The system also allows changing variables like dye concentration, blow ratio, and wet pick-up in real time, without stopping the dyeing run.
- Both pre- and post-washing is eliminated from the dyeing process. Dyed yarns are immediately available as inputs for downstream processes in fabric formation.
- The elimination of dye baths and the consistency of the applicator/yarn interface have potential to eliminate shade differences when going scaling up from a smaller sample fabric width to full-width fabric.
The technology looks very promising and may have significant impact on denim production if it is successful â€“ leading to a high degree of sustainability in denim fabric production. We are looking a slew of new technologies working towards sustainability coming up in recent years. Many of them have been successful and some have not been. Early adopters , of course have a risk, but also a big chance of success in the current scenario where awareness on sustainability is on the rise. We wish for industry’s sake, that such technologies should succeed !

Q&A Session With Mr Arvind Mathur, CEO Raymond Denim
Raymond Group is an Indian branded fabric and fashion retailer, incorporated in 1925. The group owns apparel brands like Raymond, Raymond Premium Apparel, Park Avenue, Park Avenue Woman, ColorPlus,Parx etc which are retailed in over 450 cities and towns in India. Besides, it produces suiting fabric, with a capacity of producing about 38 million meters of wool and wool-blended fabrics and over 47 million mtrs of denim.

Raymond is one of the pioneers of denim in India commencing its first denim operation in 1996. Raymond UCO Denim is a 50-50 JV between Raymond and UCO NV of Belgium and is a globally renowned producer of denim fabrics and garments. We spoke to its CEO, Mr Arvind Mathur, to understand what makes the company tick and helps it retain its premium position for over 2 decades.>

Raymond has stood out as a premium denim supplier globally for about 2 decades now. What do you think is the recipe for your success?

Raymond pioneered the manufacture of Ring Denim in India in 1996, starting with a state-of-the-art highly versatile & flexible setup, in collaboration with an Italian partner. The company from its inception has been focused on supplying innovative fashion denim products through focus on best raw material, proactive adoption of latest technology, collaboration with world class suppliers & solution providers and retaining some of the best people in the industry. This allows us to hold an upper hand in innovation over other players in the market and maintain our premiumness.

How do you think the denim industry has changed in last 5 years?

Overall the market has become very competitive because of which we see retailers offering better quality denim at lower price points with more frequent changes in collections.In terms of fashion there has been a move from denim as comfort wear to athleisure with hyper elasticity and enhanced softness for comfort. This has also to some extent triggered higher growth in women and kids segments. On the global supply chain front there is growing bias in favour of full package suppliers with brands and retailers looking to reduce contact points, geographical spread and various other complexities of a more fragmented sourcing base. Sustainability has certainly taken center stage with increasing awareness and concerns about the environmental impact of a resource hungry denim industry. From cotton to yarn to fabric to garment, every area is being looked into.

As you said Sustainability is the keyword most brands are repeating nowadays. Do you think it is now becoming a mainstream focus for them. How is Raymond preparing itself to achieve sustainable targets of global brands?

Sustainability holds the future survival of the human race and the earth as we know it. The awareness about environmental issues amongst the consumers, NGOs, brands and suppliers is increasing by the day and everyone involved isÂ willing to contribute their bit to improving the situation. It is no longer a marketing gimmick but goes much much beyond. We use Blue Sign certified pre-reduced liquid Indigo. Improved processes allow cleaner production of denim with a positive impact on resource efficiency such as reduction of the sodium hydrosulfite usage by 60-70%, much cleaner water waste and less water usage. Also a major chunk of our cotton consumption is BCI (Better Cotton Initiative). We are a certified producer of PCW (Post Consumer Waste) cotton Denims in collaboration with I:Collect. Our product innovation is geared towards making optimal use of sustainable raw material and processes to further strengthen our sustainability credentials.

What are the main focus areas of development for Raymonds apart from sustainability. How are you planning to differentiate yourselves from your competitors with your developments?

Apart from sustainability there are various other areas we are focusing on. Fabrics made from low torque yarns and super fine cottons to bring out anÂ enhanced soft hand feel is a good example. We have also developed products using value added special blends & speciality yarns in conjunction with balanced fabric construction for ultimate comfort. We will continue to surprise our customers with our super stretch and hyper flex products with excellent recovery properties.

Pl tell us about your latest collection for SS’20Â What are the key products that you want to bring to the market .

The latest collection portrays unisex denims in diverse concepts/moods and majorly covers
- A wide range of super-stretch denims (â€œFLUIDâ€ series) with super soft hand feel with ultimate comfort and free-movement through use of latest technology in spinning and weaving.
- A range of Bi-stretch denims (â€œ360 DEGREEâ€) exhibiting sense of freedom of movement to meet the needs of the modern urban consumer.
- A collection of classic denim with a contemporary feel (our â€œVINTAGEâ€ series) for the true denim connoisseur.Â Salt & pepper look with diverse cast and colour that are bold enough to stand on their own
- Eco friendly sustainable products ranging from our â€œLOW AQUAâ€ range which considerably reduces water consumption during dyeing process to the Salt-free range (â€œPRISTINEâ€ series) which completely eliminates use of hydrosulphite and brings down the load on effluent. The other highlight are products made from PCW cotton to decrease dependence on natural resources.
6. Do you see that the current trend of Fast fashion will sustain for very long. In which direction you see the denim industry moving to in the next 5 years?

The trend towards speed and agility will continue to grow. The rise of fast fashion is steadily shifting the traditional bi-seasonal collections to multi-seasonal collections and this is not going to go away. Shortening supply chains are playing a key supporting role in this phenomena.

However, owing to sustainability issues such as over-consumption and waste generation, there has been a certain level of backlash and this is building up. Hence going forward, while we donâ€™t see slowing down of fast fashion anytime soon, we do certainly expect the industry to take more stringent measures towards use of sustainable raw material and circular processes. It will have to play a pivotal role in curtailing & solving the problem collaboratively. This will drive the development and adoption of new technologies, materials and business models to make fast fashion much more environmentally efficient and sustainable.

AW18 Collection: Indigo Manor By DENHAM

Dutch Premium Denim Brand- DENHAM has recently unveiled its AW18 Collection which is inspired by Jason Denhamâ€™s own heritage in the Northern English countryside, from the steel foundries of Sheffield to the rolling Yorkshire Moors. Designs fuse classic workwear references with indigo fabrics and technical details. They channel the spirit of British country pursuits â€” think hunting and hiking at historic manor estates â€” while reflecting DENHAMâ€™s signature utilitarian aesthetic.

The collection features several types of prints which are inspired by the work of William Morris, an iconic textile designer and key influencerÂ in the English â€œArts and Crafts Movementâ€ of the late 19th century. Graphics combine ornamental floral motifs with playful brushstrokes and Japanese influences, for a true reflection of DENHAMâ€™sÂ â€œEast meets Westâ€ mantra. The autumnal color palette is filled with rich tones like merlot, gold, burnt caramel and deep seaweed.

Crop Loose Carrot Fit Jeans – GRS

Golden Rivet Seoul (GRS): Cut from 12oz, comfort stretch denim with a vintage wash, subtle tint, blanket stitch patches and heavy repairs. The style features golden rivets; they’re a seal of premium quality and are used only on denim made by Candiani, the renowned Italian mill. Candiani is known worldwide for its innovative, sustainable approach to denim manufacturing. The Crop has a dropped crotch with a looser fit at the seat, a carrot fit through the thigh, and a straight fit through the knee. It has a cropped hem thatâ€™s designed to be worn rolled-up, above your ankle.

Ransack Indigo Shirt – TIS

Textured Indigo Shirting (TIS): Classic indigo thatâ€™s been specially rinsed for extra softness. The Ransack Indigo Shirt was inspired by a selection of indigo work shirts found in the DENHAM Garment Library, a collection of 1,500 pieces used to inspire design team of DENHAM. It’s designed to be worn as an overshirt, with a jacket-style collar, larger buttons and side pockets. Cut a little bigger for a slight dropped shoulder look, this shirt utilises the reverse side of the fabric in panels on the body and arms. The style puts a modern spin on the traditional aesthetic.

Bolt Skinny Fit Jeans – LHL

Left Hand Lisbon (LHL): Cut from 10oz, left hand indigo denim, with a subtle wash and matching threads. The comfort stretch fabric has just a little bit of stretch added, for improved wearability and movement. The Bolt is the brandâ€™s modern take on a classic: a five-pocket jean designed with a tight fit. This sleek and sharp silhouette fits close to the body through the thigh, knee and ankle.

Pursuit Top – CTD

Cotton Tencel Denim (CTD): A supple, lightweight fabric that moves with your body and gives off a subtle sheen. The Pursuit Top is crafted from a cotton tencel denim for supreme softness and wearability. It’s been dyed in a rich shade of indigo and finished with an authentic look. The design team included tonal elements like grosgrain detailing and an exposed zipper to add unique texture.Â The flattering drape of the tencel fabric, together with the rounded neckline and dramatic trumpet sleeves, create a playful and feminine piece that’s a step up from a simple tee on a night out.

Downtown Jacket – VAD

Velour Aged Denim (VAD): Cut from premium Italian indigo denim, this fabric has tactile velour bonding on top, which has been subtly washed and brushed for a lived-in finish. An update on the classic Western denim jacket that has been reimagined with a looser, oversized fit.

Adventure Dress – SIT

Soft Indigo Tencel (SIT): A supple, lightweight fabric that moves with your body and gives off a subtle sheen.Â This dress has been crafted from a super feminine, indigo tencel fabric with their seasonal petal ditsy print. The print takes inspiration from Japanese calligraphy art, and the British rose. The rose’s petal is created with an organic, minimal brush stroke, and the petals are repeated in an abstract design for relaxed wearability.
The tencel ensures beautiful drape on the body, while the addition of a fabric belt allows extra definition at the waist . The silhouette was inspired by a vintage piece found in the DENHAM Garment Library.

C&A: Jeffrey Hogue Speaks With Denimsandjeans On The Launch Of Their C2C Gold Certified Sustainable Jeans

Dutch Fashion Retailer – C&A , has become the world’s first retailer to offer jeans that are completely Cradle to Cradle Certified^TM at the Gold level. The entire concept has been designed in partnership with Fashion for Good, a global platform that aims to make all fashion good, the jeans are supposed to have been made with completely sustainable materials and were produced in compliance with the high Cradle to Cradle Certified^TM Gold level. The primary objective of C&A is to make sustainably produced fashion the new normal and not something which seem to be an out of the box . Keeping all such things in the mind , the dutch retailer has kept the price very competitive and hence the the retail price for the men and womenâ€™s jeans is only 29 euros.

C&Aâ€™s Cradle to Cradle Certified^TM collection is marketed under the #WearTheChange campaign, launched in the spring of 2018. The goal of the campaign is to bundle products with various attributes that make them more sustainable compared to conventionally produced garments, such as Bio-Cotton and Cradle to Cradle Certified^TM, making it more visible for the customer.C&A deliberately chose jeans â€“ a very complex garment and iconic product. Since jeans are made of different components – and numerous production processes are required – suppliers and factories were selected thoroughly and materials were tested and certified. Some elements, such as the lining material or sewing thread, had to be completely redeveloped.

Denimsandjeans.com had a Q&A session with Mr Jeffrey Hogue â€“ Chief Sustainability Officer Of C&A , to know more about the jeans and the sustainable efforts which have been made by C&A.

1. Congratulations for coming out with the first C2C Gold certified jeans. It must not have been an easy task creating these jeans. Why do you feel these are the most sustainable jeans globally.

Thank you. It was indeed a remarkable year of dedication, innovation and collaboration that has led to this achievement. The Cradle-to-Cradle Certified(TM) product standard is globally recognized as the only holistic, third-party standard able to certify circular products. It certifies all aspects of product manufacturing, such as the sourcing of the raw materials, the use of chemicals, water or energy in manufacturing, the design for material reutilization and the social conditions in the value chain. In other words, the C2C Certified(TM) Products Program is the only product-based certification that is based on rigorous, science-based criteria for all aspects of sustainability. No one in the world has ever before achieved the Gold level certification with a complex product such a jeans.

2. The project took you over a year . It must have been a long journey . Pl tell us how did you go about this project and difficulties you faced.

In the case of the denim jeans project, around one year was needed to bring the product to shelves. We were indeed facing a couple of challenges. More complex products consist of more components from several suppliers. The first challenge was the complexity of the network of partners involved. Companies supplying e.g. the fabric, the sewing thread, the fabric dyes, the Interlining, metal trims and buttons printing and laundry services and chemicals and many others needed to be integrated. To mention another challenge: Washing, dyeing, printing and finishing processes also often include a large number of chemicals. Generally, the more complex the product is, the more chemical processes are involved. Every single component needed to be assessed for Material Health for the final product to be certified but the list of previously C2C assessed materials was rather limited. We therefore had to build up everything and look for innovative solutions.

3. We understand you are launching the jeans at Euro 29/- which seems a reasonable price given the effort that goes into the same. Are you sending a message that sustainable fashion is also cost effective.

Absolutely. We want to mainstream sustainable fashion, taking it from niche to normal. We believe everyone should be able to look and feel good every day, without compromising the lives of those who make their clothes, or the planet we source from. Ultimately, we want to be at a point where consumers do not need to make a choice between looking good, feeling good and doing good.

4. What are the sustainability goals of C&A for the near future . Any goals specified for different apparel , specifically for jeans ?

We are making great progress against our 2020 Global Sustainability Framework which is published in our annual Sustainability Report. We have to take a leap of faith, setting bold goals that may seem impossible to achieve in order to push ourselves and the industry further.
We have a strong commitment for certified organic cotton. We started this commitment in 2005 with only 1 million garments made of organic cotton. Today, we are the largest volume buyer of certified organic cotton worldwide, with over 170 million pieces sold in 2017. Weâ€™ve reached a leadership position that we had not envisioned was reachable â€“ or even possible â€“ when we started out. We see the same possibilities with the work we are doing right now with our our C2C Certified collection. So far we have brought to market over 2 million pieces of Cradle-to-Cradle Certified(TM) apparel, maintaining the most sustainable fashion collection currently on the market at this scale. It is only by taking this leap of faith that we will prove that it can be done, engage our customers and inspire the industry to take action. Eventually, we want to create a new norm in how clothing is designed for its next use: only good materials and chemicals, made with 100% renewable energy and 100% recycled water â€“ and produced in a way that offers dignity and fairness to workers.

5. There are still varied ways of measuring sustainability which consumers cannot easily understand. Do you think in near future we can have a measurement tool or a score which can enable the consumer to gauge the sustainability of an apparel product easily.

The question if a one fashion product has been produced more sustainability than another product is very hard for a consumer to judge. Sustainability remains a very complex topic. To help our customers to make better informed purchase decisions, we work with third-party standards such as the Cradle to Cradle standard. In 2018, we reached a key milestone in our sustainability journey with the launch of #WearTheChange, our first global, multi-channel sustainability communications campaign. It was launched in Europe in February 2018, across in-store, online and print touch points. All products advertised under #WearTheChange are produced and sourced in a way that is more sustainable than conventional methods. Every one is backed by a verifiable sustainability claim: for example, certified organic cotton or Cradle-to-Cradle CertifiedTM. The #WearTheChange message is clear: every little step counts. We are inviting customers to join our sustainability journey with an inspiring and optimistic message that itâ€™s possible to look good and feel good, with no compromises.
In addition, we are working closely with the Sustainable Apparel Coalition, a leading apparel, footwear, and textile industry alliance for sustainable production, to further develop the Higg Index with regards to consumer and product communication. We believe, the Higg Index has the potential to enable retailers to communicate clear, comparable, and meaningful sustainability scores publicly. Using one common language to share sustainability efforts should support consumers to make better informed purchasing decisions.

Below are some denim pieces which have been launched under the same concept of Sustainability and the same can be seen hereÂ .

The growth rate for the year 2015 for both the countries were very close , Turkey registered the growth of 10.72% however Pakistan reached the growth level of 11.88% . After a year , Turkeyâ€™s growth was at cloud nine with 13.79% but Pakistan dipped down to 6.26% in 2016 . Pakistanâ€™s growth rate went downÂ by 50% from what it had in the year 2015 . The year 2017 was the year of dissapointment for both the countries as both failed to keep the pace of the growth upwards and closed the year with the growth rate of 3.95% ( Turkey ) and 3.47 % ( Pakistan) . If we compare , Turkeyâ€™s performance was more disappointing than Pakistan as it reported the decline of 70% in its growth if we compare from 2016 . However, we can compare all the three years together, we find that the absolute growth has been around 30% for both the countries making a rough average growth rate of export of about 10%. But Turkey is ahead of Pakistan when it comes to total volumes as it stands at over 80 million pieces compared to about 70 million pcs of Pakistan.

Both countries are fighting for the pie of denim market of EU . However Turkey has clearly a much higher value priced exports with average going over 12 Euros against Pakistan’s close to Euro 7Â giving them different market segments. But Pakistan is upgrading fast and will give serious competition to Turkey soon.
