Gluejeans are apparel for would-be exhibitionists or people who like to be daring because there are no stitches in the seams. The jeans are just held together with really strong glue. The raw pieces of cut denim are connected with different coloured glue. In the close up picture, the bold lines created by the glue adds to the individual look of these jeans and a change from the traditional stitched seams.
The Dutch design duo, G+N, say Gluejeans was tested for two years to ensure durability. Gluejeans is a limited addition line and hand made in The Netherlands.
