Madewell has unveiled a new women’s capsule collection in collaboration with Kaihara Denim. Featuring four styles with artfully faded washes and heritage details, the collection reflects Kaihara's esteemed history.
The partnership between Madewell and Kaihara underscores a shared passion for denim craftsmanship and dedication to tradition. Based in Fukuyama City, Japan, Kaihara Denim is renowned for supplying fabrics to both high-end brands and niche denim enthusiasts worldwide, including Nudie Jeans, Edwin, and Levi’s Made in Japan.
Madewell's collection emphasises roomy fits and modern spins on classic workwear, with washes designed to develop a dimensional look over time. The collection includes oversize carpenter overalls, offering a contemporary twist on a best-selling style, alongside '90s-inspired super wide-leg jeans available in two indigo washes.
The collection also features a cotton chambray shirt with contrasting topstitching and authentic mother of pearl buttons, as well as an updated chore jacket with a collarless design and sporty raglan sleeves, complete with three patch pockets.
Each denim piece is meticulously crafted by skilled artisans, ensuring exceptional quality and durability. Priced between $92 and $228, the collection is now available on Madewell’s website and in select stores, complementing the brand's recently launched spring collection featuring bootcut jeans, denim jumpsuits, overalls, and dresses.
