Eco-Fashionistas! Reduce your water footprint!

Pssst….Did you know that the average pair of jeans uses about 42 liters of water in the finishing process (wash, dry, repeat)?  Levi’s new WaterLess collection reduces the water consumption by an average of 28%, with some new products by as much as 96%. The first WaterLess products will hit stores in January and will include over a dozen classics from 501s, 511s, to 514s.  The spring 2011 product lines will debut more than 1.5 million pairs of jeans made with the WaterLess method, saving more than 4 million gallons of water. Even better, the “old school” rigid finish Levi’s use virtually no water in their production. Now that’s ecoCHIC!

According to  Carl Chiara (Director, Levi’s Brand Concepts & Special Projects), “What’s cool is that we’re still using the same materials and techniques to create the same great styles and finishes our customers love – and that we love, too – but we’ve reduced water’s role.”
