Shades: This natural white-hued cotton base denim showcases a cool-toned blue face, a refined mid-blue with grey undertones reminiscent of sun-faded indigo and well-worn vintage workwear.
Design: Yarn-dyed blue cotton warps are interwoven with natural-hued cotton weft yarns, forming a clean, two-tone effect that captures the essence of classic deep indigo denim but in a fresher, lighter expression. The result is a beautifully versatile denim with a relaxed, airy appearance.
Overall: Denim at its most effortless! Sun Faded Indigo is a softer, more fluid take on traditional workwear fabric. Its lighter weight makes it ideal for overshirts, dresses, and easy layering pieces, while holding enough body for defined seams and classic denim detailing.
