Christmas wish list: Eco-friendly dyed denim

Tuesday, December 20, 2011

Dyed denim is a hot commodity this winter as stores fill their denim rooms with everything from electric blues to pink hues. 

While dyed denim is all the rage, dye processes can be harmful to the earth. As Christmas inches closer, I've put together a list of some great eco-friendly jean companies that are working hard to eliminate our carbon footprint left behind while keeping you looking eco-chic!

M2F

M2F denim comes in a wide range of styles and colors. This fall they have even introduced vests and jackets into the mix. Using Made2Fade yarn technology, that is certified free of harmful substances, these jeans are individually colored in a dye bath.  The vintage-inspired jeans run about $130 and can be purchased from retailers everywhere.

James Jeans

James Jeans uses organic cotton and a unique dry aging process to create the perfect “worn” look. The mainstream denim runs anywhere from about $120-220 and can be found at places like Barney’s, Shopbop, and the James Jeans website.
