Panther Denim has unveiled a new innovative dye solution for colored denim, allowing manufacturers to distress and custom-wash any silhouette. Dubbed 'Retro Dye,' this dye's main benefit is that it requires much less water than ordinary reactive dye, making it more environmentally friendly. Consumers can also choose from a colorful selection of dyes to give any denim piece a bold makeover.
In addition, Panther unveiled Hippy Denim, a cutting-edge design that uses denim textiles enhanced with complementary hues like rustic red and antique brown. This benefits the environment and reduces the amount of laundry by cutting down on overdyeing.
“The challenge of finding a garment dye laundry that’s also skilled in vintage washing is no longer a concern with Retro Dye,” said Tim Huesemann, sales director at Panther Denim. “It can be washed by traditional denim laundries without the need for garment dye facilities, making it an easier and more convenient option for brands. Wash it like indigo, wear it like denim, enjoy it like chinos.”
