I’ve become obsessed with…..a pair of jeans. Elle Macpherson’s jeans to be exact. They are by the super cool Isabel Marant of high top fame and they are seriously cool.
Alas, £300 I have not. So with my creative head on I looked at the ways I could re-create for a fraction of the price.
So my battle with bleach began…….
What you need: A bottle or two of thick bleach, dark jeans, large elastic bands, bucket, marigolds and patience!
Step 1. Dampen jeans
Step 2: Wring out and tie the elastic bands around the jeans. There is no right or wrong way to do this, put as many or as little as you want on. The rule goes, the more bands you have on the more dark patches you will have.
Step 4. Pour bleach in the bucket with two parts of water.
Step 5. Lower jeans into the bucket and try to place a heavy object on top to keep jeans submerged.
Step 6. Check on them after the first half an hour and then after every hour, I left mine overnight to really saturate but it depends on what finish you want.
Step 7. Rinse and pop in the washing machine as normal.
