Pushing the boundaries of
Japanese Denim
Samurai Jeans hasn’t traditionally released collaborative products with other brands, but the time has come where we want to convey and show the world all that is good about Samurai Jeans denim. But it actually goes much farther than that for us...we also want to expand and explore all possibilities and potentialities for Japanese denim itself and the culture that surrounds it. This is why we are starting the ”ELEVEN PROJECTs".
Toughness is often seen as the essence of denim; but to be truly tough is to be utterly uncompromising. Reaching far beyond the physical toughness of the denim textile itself, is the toughness of the spirit of its production, and the unwavering ethos of the craftsmen who make it.
Sometimes an opportunity crosses your path that is unique, but at the same time feels like it’s meant-to-be. The story of our collaboration with Samurai Jeans is such an opportunity. We are very proud to be teaming up with Samurai Jeans, creating a limited-edition collaboration jeans, that will be the main subject of the second BENZAK fading contest. In this article we’ll tell all you need to know about this special product. Lennaert, our founder, took the time to write down a very personal and compelling story about what makes this collaboration so special and unique…
But first, the jeans!
