Description
The Upcycled Series is a thoughtful fusion of sustainability, tradition, and craftsmanship—born from the Japanese concept of mottainai, which expresses a deep respect for resources and a desire to minimise waste. Each garment in the series is made by re-spinning denim scraps, yarn remnants, and worn-out denim from factories, transforming what would otherwise be discarded into entirely new fabrics with character and purpose.
Through this process, the irregularities of the raw materials become a defining feature, resulting in a distinctive texture that reflects both the material’s past life and its renewal. This environmentally friendly approach not only reduces industrial waste, but also gives old fabric a second life—preserving its history while aligning with a forward-thinking, eco-conscious lifestyle.
Blending traditional Japanese textile techniques with modern sustainability practices, the Upcycled Series redefines value: creating garments that are both responsible and enduring.

Features
Studio D'Artisan.
This is where is all began. The first of the legendary 'Osaka 5', Studio D'Artisan was founded in 1979 by Shigeharu Tagaki, a designer who had been learning his trade in France. Inspired by French workwear and especially the American jeans craze sweeping Japan in the late sixties and early seventies, Tagaki started reproducing vintage denim on old Toyada G-3 shuttle loom. Disappointed with the poor quality of mass-produced jeans which flooded the market in the 1980s, the company were soon making original denim goods, utilizing designs and productions techniques from the golden age of jeans.
It wouldn't be an overstatement to say that the company was one of the prime reasons for the explosion of interest in Japanese denim in the late nineties and early aughts. In fact, SDA claim that their flagship model 'DO-1' was the first raw selvedge jean produced, making it the granddaddy of Japanese quality denim.
All sizing information is for guide purposes only.
Where possible we provide individual product size guides. If these aren't
available we provide a generic brand size guide. Individual garments may
differ from these measurements and we cannot guarantee the item you receive
will match these measurements exactly.
Many brands also have a level of tolerance in size differences
between the same item - this is usually 0.5 inches.
If no size guide is shown below, it means there is not one available at
present for this item and it will be added if/when it becomes available.
