Stella McCartney launches biodegradable stretch denim

16/01/2020
Stella McCartney has teamed up with Italian denim mill Candiani Denim to produce a biodegradable stretch denim made from plant-based yarns. The denim will debut with the Stella McCartney AW20 collection. 

As announced on Instagram, the  fabric is created by Candiani using organic cotton wrapped around a natural rubber, which is said to keep the fabric free from plastics and microplastics. The stretch denim will be available from May 2020.

"In a world where resources are diminishing and landfills are overflowing with discarded garments, it’s our duty to look for renewable resources, in addition to biodegradable and compostable materials,” said Alberto Candiani, owner of the Candiani family mill. “Denim has to take the lead as the indigo flag of this revolution.”
