Freya is the ‘cool’ jean of E.L.V.'s family. 

The Fit:

• Designed to be fitted at the low waist, slouchy in the hips, and a true wide leg

• Take your usual size or size down for a higher waist

The Material: 

• Handcrafted from two pairs of vintage jeans
• Feels like rigid denim with a lived-in, soft touch
  

Upcycled jeans are each one of a kind and therefore may have slightly different characteristics than what is pictured. We recommend trying in-store. 

Care Instructions: 

• Denim ages better when it’s washed less; damage comes from overwashing, not overwearing.  Plus, you can save over 2,000 litres of water per year by washing once a month as opposed to once a week.
• Close zips or buttons and turn your luxury jeans inside out before washing.
• Use a damp cloth to spot clean and remove small stains in between washes, helping to keep your jeans looking fresh. 
• Freeze your ethical jeans instead of washing them to kill odour-producing bacteria.
• Steam your jeans as another energy-efficient way to kill odour-producing bacteria instead of washing.
• Wash at 30°C maximum.
• Prefer to hand wash? Use cold to lukewarm water, a mild detergent and leave your jeans to soak for 45 minutes. Then rinse.
• Flatten, reshape and hang your jeans to air dry. We do not advise using a tumble dryer for our denim pieces.
• Dry naturally in the shade or indoors, avoiding direct sunlight, as this can fade denim.
