Finding the right pair of jeans can be a challenge, whether it’s because you can’t find the right fit or are reluctant to add to the waste caused by the denim industry. However, Walden Lam, co-founder of denim label Unspun, offers a solution: custom-made denims made from sustainable materials and crafted using 3D body scanning technology so that it’s perfectly fitted to you.
Be it straight-leg, bootcut or baggy jeans, using measurements and custom details per customer ultimately minimises fabric waste during production. Unspun also aims to lessen their impact on the environment by using materials certified by Bluesign, which guarantees that the products are harmless to the human environment and by opting for closed-loop water recycling and nano-filtration post-dying to reduce water waste.
