A Strong Passion For Japanese And American Heritage

Bleeding Indigo is a Dutch initiative by Alain and Bartel that both share a strong passion for Japanese and American heritage. Together they upcycle old pairs of jeans and jackets with unique vintage fabrics. The outcome are unique handmade patchwork and Sashiko stitched styles. Even the Japanese Boro technique is used to give these vintage pieces a second life.
