Upcycled Denim Wristbands are an environmentally way to craft accessories and are made from pre-used denim, giving life back to levis and denim cuts. These wristbands were designed for those who want to limit textile waste, while integrating sustainability with rugged fashionable accessories for both casual and fashion-forward wearers.
These lightweight, sturdy accessories are readily available for everyday use, events, fundraisers and themed campaigns. The offered denim can be cut, stitched, braided or layered and can be embellished with print or embroidery, or with a woven label, including logos, messages and/or patterns. Each wristband has character and uniqueness due to the natural fading and variations of the denim which means no two wristbands are exactly alike.
These wristbands are made with reclaimed denim that is dry against the skin, can be washed and is durable enough for everyday use. There are many users who are not only impressed because of the comfort, style and uniqueness of the wristband, but also it's sustainable message- recycling material and making it relevant again so conscious consumers can wear it with pride.
Methods

The Upcycled Denim Wristbands are made from reclaimed denim in an extensive process, with the first step being to obtain used jeans, denim scraps and fabrics (or factory off-cuts), which are separated to be sorted by color, weight, and degradation. The denim is thoroughly washed and infused to remove contaminants, and then cut into pieces, strips, or shapes that can be adapted for a wristband. In this process there will be considerations for style, which could involve cutting into flat bands, braiding for texture, or layering multiple pieces for added thickness. The edges are typically sewn or bound to prohibit unraveling, and makers can also add customization through embroidery, printed patches, woven labels or decorative stitching. After picking the closure method such as snaps, Velcro, adjustable knots or elastic loops, each wristband is quality checked to ensure the stitching is neat, closures are secure, and each piece has longevity from at least 3 fabric cycles (wash and wear). The end product is a fashionable wristband made from reclaimed denim fabric, an eco-friendly product.
