Sas Ateliers De Nimes

What they make

According to their website, Ateliers de Nîmes designs and sells denim jeans for men and women in several cuts (straight, baggy, balloon), together with denim jackets, t-shirts, caps, accessories and a specialist jeans-care detergent. The company states it weaves its own denim fabric in its own workshops in Nîmes, describing itself as one of the few producers worldwide making cloth solely for its own garments. Yarn is double-twisted before weaving, which the site says increases strength and cuts water use compared with conventional denim, and removes the need for synthetic sizing agents and the solvent-based desizing step that normally follows. Finishing and washing rely on bio-enzyme or ozone treatments rather than standard water-intensive processing, and cotton is sourced organically. Garment assembly is carried out by a family-run partner workshop in northern Portugal. The brand traces its roots to Nîmes' historic denim-weaving trade and relaunched local weaving of the fabric in 2014. It sells through its own boutique in Nîmes and ships internationally, with its online store's country/currency selector listing around 48 destinations.
