Levi’s Autumn/Winter 2023 WellThread collection is more than just a sustainable line
Three words: Style, sustainability and innovation.
First introduced in 2015, Levi’s WellThread collection has one goal: to push the sustainable boundaries of how they make our clothes. Eight years on, the brand is still fulfilling its pledge to prioritise the environment in all material sourcing, design for durability and timelessness, partner with factories that promote worker well-being and engineer each piece for recyclability. Their latest Autumn/Winter 2023 WellThread capsule is proof, with that extra dose of style.
This round, every piece in the collection is made from 100% transitional cotton — the cotton crop from small farms in India that are being transitioned to a more sustainable production system. That’s not all. They’re all made with plant-based, natural dyes too. The denim is dyed with 100% plant-based indigo, along with a 100% bio-based black pigment that was produced through a closed-loop manufacturing system.
“More than a line of clothing, WellThread is a platform for testing new ideas and technologies and partnering with inventors and suppliers to explore the possibilities of sustainable innovation,” said Paul Dillinger, Vice President, Head of Global Product Innovation at Levi Strauss & Co. “From our dyes to our cotton, we’re continually building on years of insights to make garments more safe, sustainable, and circular. Clean and classic, the latest capsule offers oversized and iconic silhouettes. We’re striving for durability and we know these beautiful pieces can be personally and authentically styled for decades.”
For women, the line-up includes the Baggy Dad jeans — a trending relaxed-fit silhouette that references the ’90s, the Bellos Trucker jacket that has a boxy shape, and the Rosewood shirt that comes in a deep indigo shade. Whereas the men’s line comprises the straight-fit 551Z jeans, the Relaxed Trucker jacket lined with cosy flannel, and the Arrowood denim shirt that has an oversized fit.
The Levi's WellThread Autumn/Winter 2023 collection is now available in-stores.
