Nudie Jeans aspires to create denim that become a part of ourselves. Made with 100% organic cotton, they promise free repairs and circularity through recycling. They aim to take responsibility from raw material to the jean's end of life. Every pair of Nudie jeans, no matter where you buy them, comes with a promise of free repairs to extend their lifespans and reduce waste. The brand offers a take-back program for its garment which will then be reused to create other garments in its collections, as part of Nudie Jeans’ closed-loop material system. As part of its efforts to recycle products after long-term reuse, organic cottons are separated from conventional cotton to improve the recycling process, making the new products both organic and recycled.
