New Trend in Jeans- Organic Denim

Although the green movement has been around for decades, it has just recently been elevated from a small cult following of politicians, celebrities and "hippies" (for lack of a better word) to a mainstream movement. At The Denim Shop we do our best to recycle and reuse when possible and believe that being green is something anyone can aspire to on whatever level is comfortable for them.
Green, organic clothing is a fairly new concept in maintaining an earth friendly lifestyle. Organically made clothing can fit into several categories. Some organic clothing is simply made from organic materials such as cotton which has been grown free from chemical pesticides and with earth friendly farming techniques. Other clothing is organically treated, using as few chemicals as possible during it's processing so that neither you or the earth is absorbing chemicals that are unnecessary.
In recognition and support of those embracing cleaner lifestyles, we have gradually started adding organic denim to our assortment of jeans. You will notice these denims are darker in color since they have not had the amount of chemical processing and fading that is used on most denim. The denim is soft and comfortable like other denim, but seems to hold it's shape better since it's fibers have not been weakened by chemicals.
Currently, we offer organic denim from MEK and !iT Jeans, but will be looking to add more brands in the near future.

One of summers hottest trends...the Maxi Dress!

One item no closet should be without this summer is the Maxi Dress or Patio Dress. This 60's inspired look comes in many colors, prints and styles so there something for everyone. The incredibly versatile Maxi Dress can be worn to a casual pool party with sandals and chunky jewelry, to a summer wedding with a cropped cardigan and a heel or to work with a jacket. However you choose to wear it, we're confident that you'll be able to get a lot of use out of it this season.

A welcomed change from the mini dresses of seasons past, the Maxi Dress offers a more flattering alternative for those of us without perfect figures. If you're petite, you can easily alter a straight hemmed Maxi Dress as long as you get one without special details around them bottom. An empire waist will also give you the illusion of being taller by adding visual inches to your stature. These dresses also work wonders on curvy figures when you opt for a slimmer cut, avoiding excess fabric. Don't underestimate the importance of a dress with a defined waistline if you have a plus size figure; you don't want too look like you're wearing a potato sack.
At The Denim Shop you can find Maxi dresses from LAMade, My Michelle and Lani in solids and prints.

How to Care for Denim

How To Care for Denim

Because all denim is colored by an indigo dye process, some amount of fading will take place with laundering. The best way to maintain the dark color of your favorite jeans is to send them to the dry cleaners, but that can get expensive. Here are a few other tips that we hope will slow the process without the pricey dry cleaning bill. If you have tips you would like to share, please email them to us so that we can post them.

1. Simply turning your jeans inside out before washing will cut down on the friction created by the agitator. This will help keep your jeans from wearing down prematurely.

2. Limit the number of jeans in the washer to 3-4 pair, depending on size so that they aren't packed too tightly. Denim is heavy and too many jeans in the washer at one time can hurt the effectiveness of the cleaning process. Use other lighter weight clothing items to fill the remainder of the washing machine.

3. If your jeans have a lot of destruction like holes and grinding, you may want to wash on the delicate cycle to keep the holes from growing.

4. Wash in cold or warm water (check the label first) and avoid using bleach. Some companies are now making detergent specifically for darker colors which might be helpful when washing your dark denim. Really dark denim may need to be washed prior to wearing so that the indigo dye doesn't rub off on you or your other clothing. Often, these jeans have a label recommending that they should be washed first.

5. To avoid wrinkles, remove promptly from the washing machine. Turn the jeans right side out. Zip and button jeans and then hang with a two clip pant hanger clasping the waist. We recommend hanging to dry to avoid the extra wear and tear of the dryer and to keep jeans from shrinking. Although, if shrinking is the desired effect, then go ahead and toss them into the dryer.

6. ALWAYS read the label inside your jeans before laundering. Because of embellishments used on some jeans, they may be strictly "dry clean only". We try to post on each item page whether or not a jean is machine washable.

7. Jeans are often prewashed in the factory to achieve the desired color. However, it's always a good idea to wash your jeans before having them altered so your new pair of 7's won't turn into high water pants after their first trip through the washing machine!
