Turkish denim mill Calik Denim plans to expand its Royal Denim fabric collection by introducing double-sided fabrics and exploring unconventional denim categories like leggings.
Designed for high-end and formal wear, the Royal Denim collection features a blend of organic cotton with luxurious materials like cashmere, silk, hemp, and linen, resulting in fabrics with distinct textures and character.
As per Mehmet SerdarOzcan, Sales Director, Calik Denim, offering excellent color fastness and minimal shrinkage, the collection helps retain the durability and appearance of these premium pieces.
Last month, Calik showcased these fabrics at Premiere Vision in Paris, presenting a range of fashion-forward garments. Prominent brands like Prada, Marc Jacobs, Guess, and Karl Lagerfeld have already expressed interest in the Royal Denim collection, adds Ozcan
Calik Denim has already developed indigo products for Lululemon that offer the fit and functionality of leggings but the appearance of denim. The company is committed to quality through its Farm to Store concept, which leverages Turkish cotton grown by its sister company, Calik Cotton. This allows Calik to maintain complete control over its supply chain, ensuring higher quality standards for its clients.
Calik Cotton began cultivating cotton in 2016 and started ginning it by 2018. The cotton is used in fabrics sourced by brands like PVH and Bestseller-owned Jack & Jones, which utiliseCalik’s organic cotton fabrics. As one of Turkey's largest cotton producers, Calik Cotton produces more cotton than the mill currently consumes and the program is set to become available to more clients.
