JEANERATION: THE DENIM REBELLION
A Story Woven in Indigo and Conviction
CHAPTER 1: THE STAIN THAT STARTED IT ALL (2018)
In a Brussels laundromat at 3AM, textile engineer Alexandre Dumas watched 400 liters of water drain away to distress one pair of jeans. That night, he dissolved his Diesel resignation letter in a vat of organic indigo vat, swearing to reinvent denim's dirty secrets.
The Eureka Moment
When microbiologist Sophie Marceau discovered his lab notes splattered with kombucha cultures (accidentally creating the first odor-neutralizing denim), their manifesto was born:
"Denim shouldn't cost the earth to look like it's lived a life."
CHAPTER 2: SCIENCE AS OUR NEEDLE & THREAD

The "Frankenjean" Incident
Their 2020 prototype - featuring solar-charging LED stitch lines - famously short-circuited during a Vogue photoshoot. This became their brand ethos: "Perfect is boring. Revolutionary is messy."
