Clothing giant H&M continues its sustainability drive with its Autumn 2021 upcycled denim collection. The brand has designed a ten-piece collection featuring baggy jeans, loose jeans, trucker jackets, oversized shirts, and a bucket hat - all made from 100 % recycled fabrics.
The line was inspired by the laidback aesthetic of the 90s and favors loose-fitting, freeing silhouettes. From the detailed patchwork and choice of vintage denim washes - the line speaks to the nostalgia of the 90s while offering an eco-conscious design. The pieces are made of recycled fabrics, threads, labels, and pocketing - even recycled metal zippers and trims are used. H&M also incorporates a washing technique with a low environmental impact and does not require toxic chemicals.
The collection will launch on September 9 and will be available at selected stores and online.
