Trousers London: Win a Pair of Gourmet Demin

Trousers London

Trousers 10

Trousers London is a denim connoisseurs’ dream, and you can enter to win a pair! The line started in 2008 using exclusively 100% organic denim that is crafted in Italy. These jeans come in eight styles so far, each assigned a number, with more styles coming shortly.  They are built to last, as the designers claim these are not one-season jeans – they are for true collectors. The construction is genius and come from the brains of architects, designers, and other creatives. The best part? They take ecology very seriously:

“Trousers London believe that a sustainable outlook should be fundamental and not an afterthought when building a brand. However, “design” leads the way and they endeavour to boldly recreate a garment that has become a staple in society.”
