A short story about eco denim brand Kuyichi

The Eco Lifestyle Store is proud to represent Kuyichi brand in our Eco lifestyle store. Kuyichi is a true sustainable fashion brand with greater social awareness. Kuyichi represent and share the same values as we try to do within the sustainable fashion design. In the year 2000, the founders of Kuyichi, NGO Solidaridad, wanted to introduce organic cotton in the clothing industry. During their experience with the development of fair trade organic coffee and fruit business in Latin America, they found the cotton industry caused a lot of pollution and poverty among indigenous Indians and factory workers. Solidaridad decided to make a change. First, Solidaridad tried to convince the big players in the denim industry to use organic cotton, to improve the working and living conditions in developing countries, but no big players in the denim industry were interested so they decided to start Kuyichi. Thanks, founder and creative manager Kenneth @ buddha jeans

A responsible denim jeans brand

In the year 2000, the founders of Kuyichi, NGO Solidaridad, wanted to introduce organic cotton in the clothing industry. During their experience with the development of fair trade organic coffee and fruit business in Latin America, they found the cotton industry caused a lot of pollution and poverty among indigenous Indians and factory workers. Solidaridad decided to make a change. Solidaridad tried to convince the big players in the denim industry to use organic cotton, without success. In order to improve the working and living conditions in developing countries came the brand up with a proposition to start using Eco cotton. None of the brands were interested and Solidaridad started their own fashion brand in response. In 2001 Kuyichi was born.

The leading denim brand within sustainable garment production

Kuyichi is 1st for organic and are probably the first brand who work entirely with exploring the possibilities within new sustainable garment solutions. The position as the leading denim company within sustainable design is the ground pillar of the company. They have as an ultimate goal to use 100% sustainable garments in their collections and they experimented with fabrics such as recycled polyester, hemp, Tencel®, and other fabrics.

Kuyichi gains credibility among environment conscious consumer groups and innovators

Kuyichi has gained acceptance from the conscious new consumer who are getting aware of how, who, where and what their garments are made of. They work in close cooperation with Made-by to certify their suppliers according to the social standards approved by Made-by such as SA8000, Fair wear, BSCI and Wrap. These standards are something we will strive towards when we get closer to the launch in the market. buddha jeanswill seek to become a partner of the Made by org.

buddha jeans believes strongly in Kuyichi’s approach

Over the last years, Kuyichi has managed to become a relatively large player on the denim market represented in 500 leading stores across Europe. We in buddha jeans believe strongly in the approach Kuyichi have, and we know that they will play a significant role in the new way of producing denim jeans now and in the future. Sustainable product design is the new standard and will become the only way of producing products in the future; raw materials are in shortage and are becoming more expensive, freight is also becoming more expensive.

hemp is another fabric that is very good for denim jeans. We did hemp denim jeans in 200 with the Levi's Red Collection

Quality will be the most important factor when you buy jeans in the future, not price

This will gain room for products that last longer and do less harm to our environment, but there is also another area that needs to be explored. In year 2000 was leading a project where our task was to replace all the labels on all the denim lines Levi Strauss produced to make it look cleaner and at the same time make it possible to transport and sell the same product in different countries without change or remove labels. This was a big problem and cost a lot of money, time and unnecessary use of labels.

Farrow design did the new label design for Levi Strauss Co. In 2000

The design company we worked with developing a design manual for all labels across denim concepts and Levi’s brands was no other than Farrow Design, who later became a key player for Levi’s when they regained and re invented denim with the RED collection line, Engineered jeans in 2000 and 2001.  with the great graphic designer Mark Farrow who is well-known for his creative mindset to simplify core communication and make it consistent, recognizable and understandable.

Recycle denim paper

We came to explore if it was possible to use the enormous waste of denim in factories when they cut out denim. Since Levi Strauss had made some effort to make paper out of the denim we decided to explore how we could make hand tags, labels, business cards, letter paper out of denim. We did and was one of the great achievement Levi’s still today can look upon as a milestone in small, simple things one can do to reduce carbon footprint. we probable will call this up-cycling of a product, we take something dead and use it for another purpose and actually increase value and reduce one step in the denim life cycle, the recycle process.

The rule of carbon footprint, 30% making and 70% using the garment apply

In 200 we made recycled-label-denim. Farrow design together with Kenneth @ buddha jeans did make paper out of denim in 2000 for Levi Strauss Co. The denim was left over in the denim mills and factoriesfactories

the solution was in harmony with core brand values for Levi Strauss. An example who shows there are many other fields to save and rethink how to make packaging and labels in the future.  We must not forget that the sector where we can save the most is to educate the consumer about how to wash and dry denim jeans, the general rule of 30% and 70% apply,  30% carbon footprint production of a garments and 70% wearing, washing, and drying denim jeans by consumers. the most important era is to educate consumers.

From our Green Manifest

buddha jeans are not only concerned with making jeans, it is just our living. We have come to a point where everybody on an individual level must take care of the environment, not only politicians or environmentalist. We mean that every single company large or small must do their effort to make this happen as well. buddha jeans are only an only a small company but we think if we try to do our share as well we might influence others to do so.
