Denim is a wardrobe staple for versatile and long-lasting pieces, with its sturdy twill construction. At Baukjen we love a great denim piece, but conventional cotton denim has a large environmental impact. Being made from organic cotton, this piece is better for farmers and the planet, benefitting the health of our soils. It uses far less water than conventional cotton and has a smaller carbon footprint too.
This denim is mixed with a small percentage of elastane to give you the perfect fit!
