Denim's almost done! - Behind the Scenes Wednesday

Founder Julia Kastner visited our factory in the garment district, and, to her delight, discovered that our jeans are almost finished in production and are looking spectacular! Pockets have been cut, logos embroidered, and most of the stitching is complete. Next the jeans need to go to the wash house to be laundered, and finishing touches, like our custom buttons, need to be added. We'll hopefully start shipping jeans by the end of next week! Stay tuned!  

A Message in a Bag - Behind the Scenes Wednesday

We're excited to announce that our new drawstring bags have arrived. These small pouches, which we will use for our jeans tags, are printed on our signature fair-trade handprinted fabric. This fabric is printed by the same artisans as the inner pocket linings of our Eva & Paul jeans.  

Inside the pouch, we'll include a special note about our mission to supply fair trade fabrics handmade in India. We love how Pather Yang, our Director of Operations, is testing these bright and colorful pouches against our denim samples. We are excited to see all of our jeans carrying this special message in a chic keepsake bag, which can serve as a reminder of your support for organic fair-trade jeans!

Which One Made the Cut? - Behind the Scenes Wednesday

Our Eva & Paul team debated and debated - which one would it be?  After long discussions and emails between Christine, Sean, and our graphic designer Akiko, we made the tough decision between the red back tag and the burgundy.  We double- and triple-checked every millimeter of the aesthetics.  By an overwhelmingly popular vote, burgundy won.

Do you think we made the right decision?

Fine-Tuning our Fit - Behind the Scenes Wednesday

The Eva & Paul team gather for a denim fitting day.

The Eva & Paul team gather for a denim fitting day.

Thanks to our Kickstarter success we received a lot of feedback on our jeans fit. With our new new team in place, we’ve been spending a lot of time in the garment district this week to do one final evaluation of our denim fit.  We’re making some final tweaks here and there to ensure that Eva & Paul denim delivers the perfect comfortable fit just for you.

We’re excited to start rolling out production next week!

At the Office - Behind the Scenes Wednesday

Pather Yang, our Director of Operations is a woman of many talents, so we are happy to have welcomed her to the Eva & Paul team!  She's been working diligently to ensure that our website fits the tone and feel of the Eva & Paul story. Her background in fashion design has been essential as she selects the style and look of our new website to makes it sleek and welcoming for all our Eva & Paul fans. Check out our banner makeover below!
