Artisan operations a r e j u s t b e g i n n i n g t o a p p e a r o n t h e r a d a r, i n spiring renewed interest in fundamental quality and reigniting real appreciation for the joys of long-term denim ownership for a new generation. Having tested the waters with their Blue Salad Bar two years ago, Denham is now ready t o r ev e a l t h e i r u n i q u e t a ke o n t h e i n - s t o r e a t e lier concept; the team at Denham has integrated each key element of their label’s basic premise of worshipping tradition while destroying convention to realize their contemporary vision on bespoke tailoring.
