It takes as much as 946 litres of water to grow enough cotton for a pair of jeans and an average of 42 litres of water to achieve the typical faded appearance. In addition, other resources like chemicals, electricity and manpower are required in abundance. It’s time to switch to environment friendly and sustainable options.

A second life for your jeans
DWIJ (which means second life (द्वि = Twice, ज = Born) in Sanskrit) is a company that uses old discarded denims to create a wide range of bags.
While most of us are mindlessly consuming earth’s resources, DWIJ is a refreshing brand that cares for the environment, reduces waste from reaching the landfills by upcycling denims. It has a collection of affordable and trendy bags, which can be used for regular office and travel purposes. These bags are upcycled using post-consumer jeans, and post-industrial denim.
Their goal is not only to create awareness about the drawbacks of fast fashion, but also to show the world that thorough washing procedure can transform a second-hand textile into a material as hygienic as virgin textile which significantly reduces fossil fuel usage in the manufacturing process. These bags are a friendly alternative to plastic, PU and synthetic bags.
At Dwij, denims are picked from a pile of waste and old clothes. They are then washed and sterilised, cut in proper dimensions, and mixed and matched with virgin material and other denims to create a bag! Each component is meticulously chosen to make the bag durable.
The bags are washable, and a quick round of ironing can make it look brand new. DWIJ offers a wide range of designs and you can pick and choose from our list of recommendations.
