Triarchy is the denim brand founded by Mark, Adam, and Ania Taubenfligel in 2018. As soon as they set foot in the fashion industry, the three siblings realized how negatively it impacts our planet and stopped producing until they found a more responsible and sustainable manufacturing method. That is why Triarchy reintroduced stretch denim in its collection only with our COREVA™ technology, which allows their jeans to positively impact the environment at the end of their life. In 2023, Triarchy is North America's first and only brand using this plastic-free stretch technology.

Heron Preston is the perfect mix of streetwear, workwear, and luxury but has environmental care at its core. Together, we developed an exclusive COREVA™ stretch denim fabric that combines organic cotton certified by GOTS and natural rubber with hemp, one of the most durable and sustainable fibers, which grows well without pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides and needs about half the amount of water required by cotton. This special denim has become a signature fabric of Heron Preston's Ex-Ray line.
Read moreThe partnership between Candiani Denim and lifestyle brand, renowned for its scientific approach to materials, Pangaia, marks a new chapter in the history of denim with the creation of nettle denim. The nettle for this fabric was sourced from the mountain forests of the Himalayas. The sustainable management of this wild crop helps to absorb CO2 from the atmosphere and stabilise the landslide prone slopes of the region. Being harvested by local farmers during the low season provides them with an additional income stream. The fibre properties of nettle are unique by being extremely durable yet soft to the touch and breathable thanks to their hollow core. To create this exclusive fabric for Pangaia, characterized by an unmistakable purple selvedge, the nettle fibers were mixed with organic cotton and worked on vintage shuttle looms.

Jonathan Mannion is renowned for his photographs of hip hop and R&B icons such as N.W.A., Jay Z, Nicki Minaj and Kendrick Lamar. This special collaboration arose from his desire to transpose his art from the digital to the material world, in order to create physical, tangible artefacts with which people could interact. This led to a limited series of notable portraits, laser printed on denim canvas, which were first exhibited as artworks at Art Basel in Miami, and then made into finished garments by the sophisticated elevated streetwear brand PRPS. The aim of this collaboration is to use art to disseminate the notion that jeans should be perceived as uniquely individual garments, rather than as a mere commodity.

Our collaboration was captured in a short film that narrates the life and passion of Ruedi Karrer, an important testimony that, in a world driven by business interests, helps us remember the true value of jeans.
