Recap Denim Days Market - October 2025

Good vibes & great denim

Amsterdam turned blue again this October as denim lovers, makers, and dreamers from around the world came together for the Denim Days Market 2025. Two unforgettable days filled with creativity, craftsmanship, and connection, proving once more that denim is more than fabric; it’s a shared language.

A global denim family

They came from all corners of the world - Japan, Italy, the USA, Mauritius, and beyond - each bringing their own shade of blue. The market buzzed with energy, stories, and craftsmanship that celebrated denim in all its forms.

From vintage gems to reworked and repaired pieces, and from artisan accessories to small-batch scents and handmade slippers, the stands offered creativity you could feel. Every piece carried the mark of the maker, a reflection of time, skill, and passion.

Hands, needles & indigo

Workshops were in full swing. Visitors dipped into deep indigo dye baths, stitched stories with Sashiko techniques, and rediscovered the beauty of slow craft. Blue fingers, happy faces, and that unmistakable denim energy filled the space.

Talks & blue Inspiration

Beyond the market buzz, Denim Days Market 2025 offered moments of reflection and inspiration. Mohsin Sajid , Creative Director of ENDRIME®, shared insights from “SAKE - The Art of Purpose", his collaboration with 496 Fabric Lab, and gave a sneak peek into the new books his studio is publishing this season.

Atelier VVGMS revealed the craft behind premium selvedge denim weaving, while Celia Geraedts, natural indigo artist, invited visitors around her vat for “The Magic of Indigo,” sharing her deep connection to this timeless dye and its bond with denim and Japan.

See you soon - same blue spirit, new stories
