2010 heralds the 30th Anniversary of Studio D’Artisan’s existence atop the denim tree. In testament to the design and production process of Studio D’Artisan, that has at its heart quality and exclusivity, we present to you the 30th Anniversary Edition Jeans…

Founded in a tiny workshop in the traditional cotton weaving area of Okayama prefecture, Studio D’Artisan have long and lovingly produced denim of the highest quality and are known the world over as the first premium jeans that have the feature of genuine vintage denim produced using disused shuttle looms, a process that continues today.

Stores the world over clamour to get SDA into their retail spaces. Self Edge in NYC, the ‘Denim Mecca’ revere the jeans as their finest, and in the UK Superdenim and the recently opened Present are proud stockists. They have been featured globally on the most respected style sites and blogs, from Inventory.com to Acontinuouslean. Heritage and history aside this brand is the perfect fit and lasts a lifetime- investment in this day and age folks cannot be frowned upon. Everything about these Limited Edition jeans convey a simple message of sartorial eminence. Made from 17oz Japanese selvedge denim and dyed with Natural Indigo from the afore mentioned Okayama district, the Kase Zome dyeing technique is repeated up to 30 times on each of the 200 pairs produced to bring out the deep and dark colour. Tri-colour selvedge intertwined with gold Lame and triple needle dual colour chain stitching puts the finishing touches to the detail of cuff, centre stitching and back yoke, while the 30th Anniversary Jacquard woven lining for pocket bags and half-lined rear pockets indulge the denim geek in all of us. Also available as part of the 30th Anniversary offering is the premium grade organic cotton sweat limited to only 180 pieces, each produced using the vintage loopwheel process to achieve an extremely soft and durable garment that comes presented with a box and iron on badge.
