Retail |INTERACTIVE 360° TOUR

House of Denim is the first platform of its kind, dedicated craftsmanship and innovation in the denim industry. The headquarters of this Dutch knowledge institute, Denim City, is located in De Hallen: a hotspot in the Western part of Amsterdam. Denim City houses its own jean workshop, a laundry 'Blue Lab', an archive and even a store. Additionally, the denim hub acts the home base for students of the first and only Jean School in the world.

Anyone paying a visit to the Denim City Boutique, which is opened Wednesdays to Sundays, must first cross through the denim workshop space first. This short, but impactful stroll, drives the realization home that this is the ultimate denim destination.

House of Denim | Denim City

House of Denim was founded by James Veenhoff and Mariëtte Hoitink in 2009. The denim guru and the owner of recruitment and consultancy agency HTNK have been working together to create a more sustainable denim industry ever since 2006, with their motto being ‘Towards a brighter blue’. As Veenhoff said in an earlier interview with FashionUnited NL, the production of one pair of jeans requires 7.000 litres of water. “We were wondering what it takes to change the world. The answer turned out to be education, research and innovation, entrepreneurship and networking.”

House of Denim is also the organizer or the Amsterdam Denim Days and the Global Denim Awards.
