In this issue

Dear Readers,
Denim, a fabric that transcends age, culture, and geography, has journeyed from its humble workwear origins to a global style statement. What makes it so special? Its versatility. It can be rugged or refined, casual or couture, and everything in between. Denim has a story to tell, not just in its stitches or washes, but in the way it adapts to the wearer, becoming a second skin and a canvas for personal expression.

According to a study by Technopak, the Indian denim market is poised for significant growth, with a projected

CAGR of 15% from FY2023 to FY2028. By FY2028, the market size is expected to reach USD 7.82 billion. A key segment of India’s apparel industry, denim’s share is expected rise from 5% in FY2022 to 7% by FY2028.

As the world moves towards sustainable choices, denim is undergoing its own evolution. Innovations in technology and eco-friendly practices are reshaping the industry, ensuring that this beloved fabric aligns with the values of environmentally conscious consumers. From water-saving techniques in production to biodegradable alternatives, the future of denimwear is as exciting as its past.
