All these have been added to enable the user to experience the softness as well as all round 360 degree or straight stretch.

ARCHIVE

Character and nostalgia are delivered by the new generation of archive denims from LNJ. Rough texture and aged authentic cheat their way to achieve believably reconstructed, up-cycled, ripped, repaired ‘vintage’ jeanswear. Gritty to behold in new fits for comfort – this is ironic vintage.

UNIFORM

Unisex Clothing has been gaining popularity in past few years and some of the top international denim labels including H&M launched such collections very recently with interest from both genders .LNJ believes that ,Social Uniformity and gender neutrality = Future Normal . The company expressed through utilitarian workswear denims in indigo and color. Simple, functional work styles translate into fashion jeanswear with attitude; this is what LNJ sums up about this category.

INTELLIGENCE

Function meets fashion led by technical innovations from LNJ in denims for their new world of performance and effect. It’s all about fiber and finishes which are invisible however the real benefits are derived from these two fashion mix.

EFFORTS FOR SUSTAINIBILY

SUSTAINABLE ENERGY

There are three major source of energy: Wind, Water and Light. To ensure the objective of Sustainability to be fulfilled, the company has taken following measures.

The energy which is being generated from WIND, the company has made arrangements through which they are harnessing wind power from an 80+ MW capacity Reducing 130,000 tones of CO2 emissions annually.

Shortage as well as wastage of water, both are the major problems which are being faced by this Industry. Many Technological Companies have come up with many technology which claims to produce a pair of jeans with the least consumption of water.
