A smooth and polished appearance features in denim as compact structures come through. From powdery and perfect to lucid and light, it is the stretch component delivered from creora® spandex that enhances this direction. Classic indigo blues feature but so does the opportunity to incorporate color, touch is spongey through to papery in creating a new dimension for denim.

Denim construction is micro tight but must deliver the malleability of stretch and a super soft touch, even though the denim looks sharp. This direction is perfect for enhancing surfaces through sublimation and digital prints in injecting a newness to the market. Coatings and finishes also take it up to a new level. The message is clear, this is next generation denim that stands out from the crowd but maintains the feel-good factor that the consumer loves.
