Development story
-
Lift-assist jeans are naturally developed from two products of plus-pad jeans and LIFY.
It was, however, not straightforward because they are made by opposite type fabrics; plus-pad jeans are made by stretch denim for comfort , but LIFT is made by robust denim or canvas.
To resolve the contradiction, we combine two different fabrics for lift-assist jeans. Robust fabric is used only at seating part and stretch denim is used in other parts.
The handle is unified in stylish design and Lift-assist jeans become one of our symbolic universal design products.
