Everlane upgrades collective to ultra-clean denim
Everlane, the brand known for its ethical approach to everyday basics, has just added to its already-studded denim repertoire—this time, with its cleanest offering yet. Touting clean, GOTS-certified cotton, a clean stretch, and clean dye, the womenswear drop—aptly, the Cleanest Denim Collection—includes a pair of jeans, shorts, and a classic cropped jacket. The sustainable drop is nothing new for the brand, which has defined itself by its radical transparency, exceptional quality, and ethical practices since its inception. For years, the label has been moving on a sustainable trajectory for its denim, tapping certified organic cotton for most products and recycling 98% of water, with plans to use all organic cotton for denim by 2023. With the launch of this denim capsule, though, the brand is single-handedly proving that denim doesn’t have to be dirty—especially to the planet. Not only is the offering an impressively sustainable one, but it’s the brand’s stretchiest (and most comfortable!) to date. Comfortable and clean? Count us in! Shop the collection here.
