vintage wash

Artificially aged denim

Vintage wash is a fabric treatment, typically on denim or cotton, that gives clothing a worn, faded appearance suggesting age and use.

The process may involve enzyme washing, stone washing, or chemical treatments to soften the material and create uneven color: vintage wash jeans, a vintage wash tee.

The look evokes well-loved garments without requiring years of actual wear.
