The Start Of The Deco Denim Brand

The Deco Denim brand is founded by Sarah Mattes, who was born and raised in Newark, California, US in 2020. With a BFA in Fashion Design from San Francisco’s Academy of Art and working more than 15+ years at top brands such as Gap and Levi’s, she decided to start her own brand. Deco Denim is an ethical, sustainable, size-inclusive, and gender-fluid brand with a mission to weave transparency and thoughtfulness in every stitch.

The Unique Jacquard Denim Fabric

Part of the Deco Denim collection is this patchwork Jacquard tote bag. The patchwork Jacquard fabric comes from a Thai factory and is made with a pattern (in this case a patchwork design) that is woven directly into the fabric as opposed to the fabric being patched together, one square at a time. The weave of this fabric varies, the squares of the patchwork go from deep dark indigo to light indigo comprised of 100% cotton. The fabric is a 12oz weight, not too lightweight but definitely not heavy. It has a nice drape to it so the bag will kind of take on whatever shape of what it has inside.

The Handy Pocketing On The Tote Bag

Inside the Deco Denim tote bag is a main compartment, a pocket made of a 5oz 100% cotton fabric. This is a Japanese indigo Chambray and is perfect to stock your wallet, keys, or phone. The pocket is made deep enough so your personal belongings stay safe, but you can have easy access to them. On the outside of the bag, there’s a patch pocket for easy access to anything you might want to keep handy. Keeping the bag clean and finished are some binding tape also made from the same chambray.

The Other Special Features

The Deco Denim tote bag is designed with 1 1/2″ wide, 100% cotton webbing, and the shoulder handles are heavyweight but also really soft. As the handles are set with a triangle stitch, they aren’t going anywhere.

This tote bag is perfect for everyday usage, while doing your grocery, or using it going to the gym, work or for a day hanging out in the city, it’s multi-functional. And, just like a pair of jeans, it will age beautifully with time.
