Another follow up to a past story regarding Nudie Jeans I wrote a few years ago. The brand’s policy concerning sustainable fashion is not just a marketing strategy but a part of the Swedish label’s DNA. If a pair of jeans are torn or in need of mending the buyer can take them back to a repair center free of charge. I took my pair back to the store for second time to fix the rip in my pocket. After filling out the form the staff took the jeans back and politely said, “they will be ready in 3 weeks.”
I can honestly recommend buying pieces from this denim brand. I have not had any regrets in 4 years of wear. A good pair of denim are like a good charm. They give off a feeling of confidence, feeling good, looking great!
