Welsh start-up applies TikTok feedback to denim designs
A Welsh start-up brand has turned to Kickstarter to help fund a denim range, following 18 months of feedback from followers on TikTok and Instagram.

Followers told Antur Supply Co they wanted deeper pockets, with a flap to stop phones falling out. The design also includes a ‘gusset’ for ‘free movement and durability’.

Founder Osian Gwynedd said: “I recently created a Tiktok video that hit 1.2 million views, showing the deep pockets on our women's denim. Women need deep pockets!”

He added he wanted to increase comfort and durability, and chose a blend of cotton, Lycra’s Coolmax and elastane for the fabric.

The fabric is coated with Silverplus for water-resistance, anti-odour and anti-bacterial, and the thread is Coats’ EcoVerde recycled polyester.

At the time of writing, Antur Performance Denim had reached around 75% of its £25,000 target.
