Kaihara a love story since 2001

In 2001, Nudie Jeans was born, thanks to a chance encounter that Maria Erixon Levin, the brand's founder and designer, had with a fabric sample from Kaihara during a fabric week in Brussels. Impressed by the fabric's quality, Maria built the entire brand around the "Dry Selvage" denim from Kaihara, a testament to her talent and vision for denim. The fabric owes its unique aging properties to the Kaihara Mill's expertise in indigo dyeing and kasuri production, making it a standout in the world of denim.

Crafted by one of the finest denim mills in the world, the Kaihara Mill has been producing high-quality fabrics for over 70 years. Their mastery of indigo dyeing gives the "Dry Selvage" denim its distinctive crispiness and rich indigo tone. With wear, the denim forms creases readily, resulting in a wide span of indigo hues and contrasting wear marks.

Overall, Nudie Jeans' "Dry Selvage" denim is a timeless classic that continues to captivate denim enthusiasts today, a true testament to the quality and craftsmanship of Kaihara's fabrics.

To claim that we love selvage denim would be quite an understatement. Calling it love wouldn't be fair because it's too important for us to call it just that.
