Naked Society recycles denim jeans into handbags and interior designs with the design aesthetics of Scandinavia as the focus of our designs.

In Denmark, there are only a few things you can do with the clothes you are done wearing:

– donate it to the Red Cross
– throw it away

Naked Society has attempted to develop a setup that creates a sustainable solution of handling old clothes – so far for handling old jeans only.

The solution is to donate your old jeans to us, through collections at schools and institutions and through donations. Hereafter, we transform the materials into new, exciting design products. For some products, we break down the material completely before we crochet it into different design and living products. For the products made of denim, we use recycled materials almost exclusively.

In the future, we need to think more about the resources we have, and one of those is textiles. Today, a large part of our second-hand clothes is sent abroad, where it passes through several stages, before it is ultimately wasted at surplus stocks in Africa.

If it is recycled, it is often for cloths or for isolation. At the same time, endless amounts of new textiles are produced every day around the world, all the while our raw materials are getting more costly. For this reason, solutions to reusing existing textile resources must be found – for new, exciting products that can make life a little more fun.

Naked Society’s production of accessories such as bags, pillows, and puffs are examples of how to re-use used textiles in a design context. This is not necessarily the answer to all the world’s problems, but an example of how to create something beautiful and useful from something old and worn.

Naked Society’s vision is to engage in projects and establish collaborations across areas that match our philosophy. This means, quite simply, that we include our heart and brain in all our work methods.

The projects that Naked Society are involved in must therefore contain a certain degree of social aspect and elements of considerable consideration for our environment.
