… And Join Us On October 8 to Discover How Lee and Edwin Jeans Fade.
We love fades! If you ask us, nothing beats a pair of battered and worn-down raw denim jeans. That’s why it’s all we sell. But, it’s not only crispy whiskers and sharp honeycombs that get us going; it’s the unique stories behind the fades too.
To prove we’re serious about it, we fully dedicate the evening of October 8 to stories about faded denim with an exclusive event in our store in Copenhagen. We’ve invited three denim experts to speak about faded denim, but we also want to hear your story. To get you motivated, we are giving away 4 pairs of jeans* for the best fades and fade stories.
How To Win A Pair of Jeans
Considering that some of you may not be able to attend the event in Copenhagen, we’ve made two divisions for the competition: an in-store division for those who attend the event and an online division for those who can’t. Any brand is welcome, but you can only join one division.
No matter how you join, send a few pictures of your fade to peter@brund.dk along with the story behind the fade. The deadline is October 8 at 16.00/4pm CET. If you join the in-store division, please remember to bring your jeans to the event also.
In both divisions, there will be two prizes: one for best fade and one for best fade story, so putting a little effort into the story may be well worth it. To get the edge on the competition use the questions at the bottom of this post to write your story.
Social Media Sharing
We will promote the event on social media both before and after October 8 by highlighting selected fades and fade stories. But, we also need your help to spread the word to denimheads around the world.
Therefore, we strongly encourage you to share your pictures and story on social media. Remember to like and tag @brundcph in posts on Facebook and @brundcph on Instagram. Use our hashtag #brundcph!!
