Denim is in our DNA. Born from a fabric and garment manufacturing background, we bring a core understanding of washes, fabric and construction to everything we develop — from first concept to final approval.
The Role
You'll own denim development end to end: trend research, design, wash and fabric development, sampling and buyer delivery. Working across Design, Technical, Sales and Production teams in the UK and overseas, you'll create commercial denim that hits brand standards and buyer expectations — season after season.
Design & Development

- Manage sampling against timelines and milestones
- Lead trend, market and competitor research (WGSN, retail analysis)

- Track customer preferences and denim innovation across the UK/EU
- Deliver design and wash direction for key accounts
- Support buyer meetings and trade shows with samples, swatches and design packs
- Use performance data and feedback to sharpen future collections
- Track buyer requests and share collections to agreed timelines
- Manage AWBs, development trackers and sample dispatches, including mill week selections and UK archive sourcing
