Upcycling women's denim jacket

It's time to get your old denim jackets out of the wardrobe again!
Is the cut outdated? The colour a little faded? The style outdated? In short, there's something not quite right!

Why not give it a new lease of life by upcycling?

We're going all out for fringes!

Fringes are back in fashion again!

Here's a relatively simple upcycling idea as all you'll need to do
is add fringes to the back of your jacket and why not on the outside of the sleeves.

The result is simply stunning.

The little extra: you can bleach some of the fringes or, on the contrary, colour them with gold, silver or even a rainbow gradient!

There's no limit to the amount of customisation you can do!

The great thing about the denim jacket is that as much as it will find its beauty in sobriety, it will explode with potential in completely wacky colour and material combinations.

Here, we're appealing to your artistic soul. Think of your jacket as a blank canvas. Let the inspiration come and let loose. Think of it as an art project in its own right.

Painting, drawing, sewing... just go for it! The result will be stunning!

Half-denim, half-wool upcycling

To take it a step further, you can mix denim with other materials such as old knits or other fabrics you have at home that you think would go well with your jacket.

This idea is more technical and requires skills that only good seamstresses will have.

If you're not there yet, you can call on
one of our Makers. They are seamstresses, designers, embroiderers, pattern makers, ... With the Tilliste of your choice, you can collaborate on this upcycling project of yours and
become the new stylist of your wardrobe. Pretty cool, right?
