Tenue de Nîmes Indigo-dyed Chuck Taylor All Star

This Friday Tenue de Nîmes are launching a collection of special, hand-dyed, natural indigo, customized Converse Chuck Taylor All Star shoes. The Chuck Taylor All Star serves as a perfect muse for Tenue de Nîmes. With deep roots in style and culture, both the Chuck Taylor All Star shoe and indigo denim have led somewhat parallel lives. The Chuck Taylor All Star shoe and a pair of jeans have long been a staple of youth culture and music and have served as a symbol of independence for decades. Fittingly, Tenue de Nîmes asked the legendary denim experts, the Manabe family from Okoyama in Japan, owners of the Momotaro brand and Rampuya dyeing factory, if they would be able to indigo-dye a limited amount of 50 pairs.

Tenue de Nîmes x Andersen & Andersen

Dutch denim store Tenue de Nîmes teamed up with Andersen and Andersen from the island of Moen in Denmark for the creation of their ultimate Danish fisher knit.
The heavy, navy blue sweater is made from 100% Pure New Wool and comes in a limited run of 24 hand-numbered pieces. The sweaters have the traditional turtle neck and are completely symmetric. They can be worn any which way, as it was made without a distinction between front and back. The Andersen & Andersen sweater is embellished with an embroidered Dutch flag on the cuff. The Danish sailor sweater with a small Dutch touch is exclusively available at the webshop by Tenue de Nîmes.
