Today we are honored to introduce our next Curated By guest Bianca Valle. Bianca is a New York-based certified Holistic Nutritionist, painter, and wellness advocate. We crossed paths during Copenhagen Fashion Week, and I think it’s safe to say a lot has happened in the world since this chance interaction. It wasn’t long after CFW that we noticed Bianca is one of the very first individuals to promote self-isolation for the good of others. It could be safe to say that many of you might be looking for work from home tips, nutritional advice, or workout ideas at the moment. Yes? Great! Today is definitely your lucky day. Bianca is a champion “positive promoter,” and her Instagram Stories are maxed with loads of helpful messages and links to how to tackle all of the above. Guaranteed the best positive vibes that you will encounter today. We believe that good music and thoughtfully curated playlists will always play their part in our day to day lives, so sending you this message and sharing this playlist today feels really good for us. It’s time to press play and enjoy the collection of songs and energy Bianca has compiled for you.
In 2013, Nudie Jeans launched the Repair Shop concept. With this came a promise; every pair of Nudie Jeans, no matter where you got them, is eligible for free repairs forever. In 2019 we repaired 63,281 pairs of jeans. The total amount of jeans we repaired in 2019 is an increase of 15% compared to the total repairs of 2018. We are doing everything within our power to extend the reach of our repair services and the life of our jeans. More Repair Shops and more Repair Partners are on the way. If you would like to repair your jeans here are some quick links: – Use our store locator to find the near Nudie Jeans Repair Shop – Search for an official Repair Partner if you don’t live near a Repair Shop – Visit the Mobile Repair Tour for on the spot repairs when it comes through your city – Order a free Repair Kit online if you need one We would also like to thank you, for bringing in your denims to our Repair Shops. It really means that we are all doing our part to extend the life of garments. This is how we prove that repairing is caring. Due to the current circumstances with COVID-19 around the world please take into consideration that some of the Nudie Jeans Repair Shops and Repair Partners may be/or are temporarily closed or operating under shorter opening hours. Please get in touch with our team if you have any further inquiries.
The concept is simple — we invite guests to curate a playlist, these are people that we like and admire, and it is launched exclusively by Nudie Jeans.
When we started our Re-use program, it was a huge milestone for us. Then we wanted to be able to offer a Re-use selection online so that our most sustainable product would be on offer to the rest of the world and not only in Nudie Jeans Repair Shops.
We know that a lot of you who follow our Spotify series are music fiends, much like us here at Nudie Jeans. This meaning you may be already privy to this Swedish Grammy-nominated artist/producer duo we are about to introduce. Please meet Gothenburg based, heavy-hitting Shakarchi & Stranéus. “Harbour City House Life Proper Underground Rave Love” is how the (entire) biography reads for today’s guest curators on their Resident Advisor page. What makes it somewhat special for us to introduce Shakarchi & Stranéus and this playlist today is that Daniel Stranéus (one half of the duo) is also the musical wizard behind the music in all our recent film productions. The album by Shakarchi & Straneus, entitled ‘Steal Chickens From Men And The Future From God‘ (and possibly one of the longest album titles you will ever come across) was released by the highly regarded Studio Barnhus music collective of Stockholm and earned them a Swedish Grammy nomination. Curated by Shakarchi & Stranéus is widely worldly, funky and fun and will alleviate any pre-weekend tensions that might be lingering. As staple figureheads within the Swedish electronic music scene and pioneers in Gothenburg club culture, it is an honor for us to introduce you to our friends and local heroes “Shak & Stran”.
Meet our friend [Joel](https://www.instagram.com/joelkosmostattoo/). When Joel was a kid, he either wanted to become a pirate or — a tattoo artist. The latter seemed easier and today he works in his own tattoo studio in Gothenburg. We paid a visit to Joel’s studio [Kosmos Tattoo](https://www.instagram.com/kosmostattoo/) and caught him in action together with his now well-worn Nudie Jeans selvage apron. When we were done at the studio we took the opportunity to follow Joel to his countryside home, where he gave us a tour of his dream project, a project that is to help him with his pursuit of a more sustainable lifestyle.

Ever wondered how and when to wash your dry denim? The question has plagued the denim world since the dawn of yarn, and every pair of dry jeans sold triggers questions about what way is the right way to go about this.
This month we have the honor of introducing a Nudie Jeans exclusive playlist curated by DJ, Music Producer & Environmental Toxicologist, Jayda G. Campaigning through music, art, and events is nothing new but it could be argued that it is more important and relevant than ever with reference to the state of our planet and the climate crisis. Jayda is from the west coast of Canada, having spent a good chunk of her life in biology and ecology, Jayda hasn’t steered from the environmental side of her career all the whilst creating music, DJ’ing and touring. Holding a firm position in the electronic scene as one of the top DJ’s around, her eclectic disco and house DJ sets are nothing short of incredible — it is truly inspiring to follow Jayda’s dedication to the environment and her journey within music. If you are not a Spotify user please use this opportunity to check out Jayda’s talk series JMG Talks, listen to her radio show on BBC Radio 1, find a podcast interview with Jayda or get her debut album ‘Significant Changes‘ which is released on the legendary Ninja Tune label. So in other words, there are lots of other Jayda G tips here today if you aren’t following the Nudie Jeans Spotify series. Thank you, Jayda!
Hi, I'm Kaine, The final Nudie Jeans playlist of the year has arrived and it comes to you Curated By me. As Community Coordinator at Nudie, I'm one of the few who are responsible for your newsletter updates with music, culture, and sustainability news here from HQ. I also find myself chasing the #nudiejeans hashtag, responding to comments, and answering DMs on Instagram and Twitter daily. As we wind down the decade I wanted to take the opportunity to chime in here and say thank you for the year that has been. We launched the official Nudie Jeans Spotify channel back in February and since the launch, we have had so many great guest curators and so many incredible playlists have been sent our way. I mean, look at this line-up: Kurt Vile Jaakko Eino Kalevi Sarah Klang The Bronx Maria Falbo Prins Emanuel Donny Benét Dreamtime Little Dragon Graveyard Molly Steele … a legit all-star cast. For this playlist, I wanted to keep it simple and make a playlist that works on Saturday mornings at home as the coffee brews. And so here it is, a playlist full to the brim with favorite jams from an array of genres that include some up-tempo highlights from 2019 as well as some mellow moments from the 70s. I enjoyed putting this one together and it will definitely get me through to the new year for sure (every day is Saturday for me). I hope you enjoy this one as much as I do the other Nudie Jeans exclusives from 2019. Happy New Year and Safe Holidays from Gothenburg! — Kaine (Community Coordinator)
Tsuyoshi bought his Tape Ted 16 Dips in Australia 2014 and has worn them regularly ever since. Once the jeans were well broken in and started to show signs of wear Tsuyoshi took to repairing them himself. Just like the recently released Nudie Jeans replica (style no longer available) of Tsuyoshis’s jeans feature some stunning hand made repairs. You will find 33 darning repairs and 6 boro style patch mending’s, using multiple fabrics and a variety of thread colors. We fell instantly in love with Tsuyoshi’s jeans from the minute we first laid eyes on them. Tsuyoshi’s journey with his Tape Ted jeans was very much an exploration into repairing; something he executed really well from the get-go. It is through this exploration and the tasteful mix of repair techniques the greatness of Tsuyoshi’s jeans defined — it also gives his jeans that unique character that we instantly connected with.

What a year it's been for Sarah Klang, a new album in "Creamy Blue," Grammy nominations, and sold-out tours for our fellow Gothenburgian. It was the other day we saw Sarah standing on stage with Nina Persson (The Cardigans); it turns out they were singing a duet live on Swedish national television. Sarah released her sophomore album "Creamy Blue" and has been touring in support of its release throughout the autumn. We couldn't help but take a moment here today to share a couple of candid moments caught off the stage with Sarah and her band (fully kitted in Nudie Jeans). Sarah, congratulations on an amazing album and all your achievements in 2019. All photographs by @isak.asia If you haven't taken the opportunity already, you should enjoy some YouTube time with the CCTV session filmed at Nudie Jeans HQ while you're here.
