Many people have been moving away from fast fashion towards clothes that is ethically made and better quality.

Alex Meehan joined Mairead to tell her about raw denim and why people are choosing it over buying jeans off the rack.

What Is Raw Denim And Why Do People Not Wash It For Months?

00:00:00 / 00:00:00

Raw denim is denim as it comes off the loom with no chemical treatments you would see in jeans that are pre-faded or distressed. People will go months without washing it so they can get a unique fade.

After doing a lot of research Alex ended up buying himself a pair of raw denim jeans, and he told Mairead he's a convert now and why he can't see himself going back.
