I sat down with Josh Knight from Denim Clothing Company (DCC) over Zoom to learn about how DCC are navigating their way though these turbulent and challenging times, how business is doing during COVID-19 and what the future holds for the company. Most Importantly, we discussed what DCC are doing in regards to sustainability and their positive initiatives like vertical and sustainability fabric concepts, as well as having the spinning mill “Hantex” at company’s disposal. We also touched on the importance of story telling when it comes to denim and designing collections, our favorite vintage clothing spots & my love of street photography.

SOME FACTS - WHO ARE DCC?

The Machiyara Group was established in the late 1970’s and is a prominent group of companies located within Karachi, Pakistan. Denim Clothing Company (DCC) is part of this textile Group, which is a fully vertical setup that has its own fabric and spinning mill called Hantex. Denim Clothing Company was established over a decade ago, in 2005. DCC have four factory units and employ about 8,500 people in their workforce.

DCC’s focus is the importance of circular commitment, utilizing recycled content fabrics, as well as organic fabrics along with sustainable dyeing methods. DDC also explore other sustainable natural fiber sources including Tencel, which bears anti-microbial properties, something which is increasingly relevant today. DCC is able to recycle 50% of all water used within the production process through their Waste Water Treatment Plant and the company is committed to garment washing treatments which use the latest sustainable methods via state of the art Jeanologia E-flow ( nanobubble technology which is basically foam ), EIM ( Environmental Impact Measuring software ) and Laser systems, reducing PP usage (Potassium Permanganate - harmful chemicals ) and anti-microbial treatment.
