Denim jeans by KYOTO DENIM
JEANS THAT ARE MADE WITH THREE TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUE, KYOTO DENIM.
A company called KYOTO DENIM make extraordinary priced jeans comparing to other jeans. The price may be ten times than those.
Numbers is the easiest measurement in the world. Compared with more or less.
But the quality...well, I think the quality of cloth is satisfaction. How long the cloth makes you excited every time you wear it. I don't think being expensive is justice in fashion, but $50 jeans won't make you happy forever, right?
Kyoto denim apply traditional coloring and braid technique originated in Kyoto.
Kyoyuzenzome; coloring technique that is founded more than 300 years ago. Used to dye silk very colorfully.
Kyokomonzome; coloring technique that use patter paper, discharging indigo out of denim and put colors back. Requires experience and concentration to complete delicate work.
Kyokumihimo; braid as traditional crafts. Using thin silk string and braids them up. Finished strings are used in Samurai armors, tea tools, and many other.
Fusion of kimono coloring and jeans durability. Lady's jeans got more flowers and colorful paintings. On the other hand, men's jeans has no flower design.
Price range is from ¥20,000 to ¥50,000. May seem expensive at first glance but even I am fed up with mass produced products. I want to open up savings account for jeans.
