We are so accustomed that jeans "can endure" everything, that most often we don’t even think about how to properly care for denim. These rules will help you keep your favorite things for a long time.
A remarkable fact: jeans are one of the most democratic, universal and uncomplicated things in our wardrobe, however, there are a number of unspoken and, most importantly, little-known rules that prescribe how to care for jeans.
