Kingpins: new ‘circular’ Saitex denim samples ready by May
An early Kingpins24 session on April 20, the first of three days dedicated to the all-digital denim supply chain event, consisted of a series of mini-interviews with a selection of Vietnam-headquartered denim producer Saitex’s global employees, conducted by Kingpins’ founder Andrew Olah.
A significant announcement was made by the B Corporation’s chief transformation officer, Florian Stretz.
Mr Stretz told Mr Olah that, in a bid to progress the company beyond its current reputation as “one of the most sustainable” vertically integrated denim enterprises, Saitex has made circularity its target. Most notably, the manufacturer’s first “circular” denim fabric samples will be finalised by the end of this month, ready to be unveiled in May.
Saitex’s goal is to make the most sustainable denim on the planet, Mr Stretz said.
