DEMN CHEF is a limited-edition denim apron that's made from 100% recycled materials—80% from hospitals and 20% from recycled jeans from consumers. There are just 50 pieces that have been made and each one is truly one of a kind since they are all made by hand. Over time, the denim and vegetable oil tanned leather straps will wear and develop even more unique characteristics, and as Dutch denim brand Amsterdenim notes, "The denim will develop beautiful fades and the leather gets that beautiful Cognac color."
Perfect for gifting, the collaborative denim apron created by Amsterdenim, Black & Blue Nijmegen, Denim City Amsterdam, Jeanschool Amsterdam, ByBoaz and Krabman Signs comes in a numbered and signed box with a magnetic closure.
