Groene Levi's Spijkerbroek

"They're not the first "green jeans" to go on the market, but Levi's says its new eco jeans are the first fully sustainable denims from a major brand.
The trousers, which go on sale tomorrow in 20 Levi's stores across the UK, are made with completely organic materials on a production line that uses sustainable production processes.

The jeans are made with 100% organic cotton denim, have a coconut shell button on the waistband and non-galvanised metal fly buttons. The indigo finish has been produced from potato starch, mimosa flower and Marseille soap. They are produced in a dedicated area of the Levi's factory in Hungary, on machinery that has been specially cleaned to comply with the certification process."
