Pivoting within a Pandemic: Fabric Development
11 September 2020
Denim was developed as work attire; at present day, the material is immensely popular for
many different fashion uses. Manufacturers face the challenge of constant innovation in order to
keep up with consumer demands in the areas of comfort, performance and sustainability.
Today, we’ll show you just how we, at Zamira, do what we do!
Fabric Development & Sustainability @ Zamira
What exactly is denim? Technically speaking, the fabric is 100% cotton, with indigo warp, white weft and a coarse texture.

Choice Cuts
We use the highest grade comfort materials for our jeans. To ensure that our jeans stretch comfortably, we incorporate premium stretch fibers such as Lycra©, Sorona© and Repreve©.
To give our jeans a unique flair, we use yarn of varying thickness, length and twist!

Methods of Colour
Indigo dye is used to give jeans their traditional colour, and sulphur black or blue dyes are incorporated for varying shades.
In order to reduce our processes’ impact on the environment, we constantly innovate with using patented processes. One of our ongoing trials incorporates DyStar's Indigo Vat 40% Solution, the cleanest and the most ECO Awarded indigo on the market.
DyStar's state-of-the-art reduction process technology guarantees a high concentration of pre-reduced indigo, which results in a significant reduction in the amount of hydrosulphite/caustic soda in the wastewater.
Weaving the Web
Our partner mills use only the highest grade technology in their looms.
