Re-Hash, the premium jeans brand part of the Italian jeans manufacturer F.G. 1936 Group, is betting on a series of new projects aimed at making the brand grow at home and abroad and increase its commitment to highly valuable and sustainable denim-focused projects.
The group based near Teramo was founded over 60 years ago by the Caucci family and continues offering 100% Made in Italy high-quality jeanswear entirely produced in the group’s own premises. After a recent merging together of the family’s different companies, the three Caucci brothers–Maurizio, CEO and CFO, Ugo, involved in product, administration and financial tasks, and Filippo, managing production operations–are now able to better pursue common targets and strategies.

F.G. 1936 Group produces about 350,000 pieces yearly for its own brands only and around 600,000 if considering its entire production. The group’s yearly revenues are €25 million of which 75% is earned from the Italian market and 25% comes from foreign countries. “We aim to double our sales by producing one million pieces per year and invert the ratio of our export quota reaching 75% of our revenues from foreign markets,” says Maurizio Caucci, CEO/CFO. “Our core market is now also mostly men as we sell 70% to men and about 30% to women, though we wish we could reach 50%-50% from both of them.”

“It is our duty to produce low-environmental impact pieces and clearly convey this message to the final consumer today,” says Caucci. “This new green capsule is the result of the blending together of exclusive design and high-research materials with the brand’s heritage and know-how, while promoting our planet’s respect. Moreover, our collaboration with Green Pea wants to start building a new business model that can help bringing a strategic and business change creating an entirely new conscious shopping experience.”
Another new capsule is Elite, a selection of eight premium denim pieces characterized by precious selvedge denims made with cotton, wool, cashmere, silk and Tencel blends.
