A Portuguese denim workshop hand-paints jeans by testing fabrics, inks, and pressures before production. Fur applied before washing absorbs color and develops texture; applied after gives a cleaner finish that clients prefer. Embroidery comes last, adding intricate detail to basics made for quality and fit.
This is painted by hand. We test several fabrics, several pressures, several thicknesses of ink, and at the end we approve one, so we produce that. In this case, we applied the fur before washing, so it also gets its color and abrasion. Many clients want to apply the fur after washing, so it comes to the sewing again, so it has a better clean-looking finishing. That's an insane level of embroidery. Yeah. Oh my God. After sewing, you make embroidery. But then we have this. Sometimes the most challenging and the things The garments that we are most proud of are very basic garments. But they are so good in terms of quality, in terms of fitting, and looks good on everybody. We are also very proud to do these garments.
