Jeans are an industrious material and being able to extend the life of them once the wearer is finished is a fantastic way to be economical, which is exactly what these recycled denim designs hope to accomplish. Made of cotton and made-to-last, denim is a great material for those who need a strong pair of pants or just those who want to add some serious style to their wardrobe.
These designs found here make use of otherwise tossed denim and recycle it into things like shoes, insulation and even furniture covering. We're living in an age where more people are consistently moving away from the disposable aspect of our culture and shifting towards a more sustainable living style where items are used heavily before being upcycled into something with renewed purpose.
