Candiani turns to natural indigo for capsule
Italian denim mill Candiani has created a capsule collection for the Candiani Denim Store in Milan, dyed with natural indigo.
Jorts strike a balance between classic denim shorts and full-length jeans, while the jinbei is one of the past season’s bestsellers (pictured).
The products are crafted from natural indigo denim fabrics, featuring darker and more vintage washes. Customers can choose to add pockets to the jinbei with Japan-inspired, laser-engraved designs, embroidered initials or include a belt.
Candiani said: “Natural indigo is often deemed unsuitable for large-scale production due to the challenges of consistently achieving the same shade across different fabrics. However, it creates vibrant, authentic, and bold tones, along with refined nuances, that synthetic dyes simply cannot replicate.”
The collection was developed in partnership with Stony Creek Colors, using natural indigo sourced from farms in Tennessee.
