While Kingpins Amsterdam returns as a physical event, the Denim Days Festival 2022 is also back for celebrating everything indigo, and it will take place on Friday, April, 22 and Saturday, April, 23 in De Hallen & Denim City Amsterdam, Hannie Dankbaar Passage, in Amsterdam.
The two day program will host a series of events, special workshops and not-to-miss, inspiring talks.
The key focus of the initiative will be a big, blue and vibrant Denim Market. Next to that, participants will be able to attend workshops, customize products, learn about innovation and get inspired by exhibitions.
Tencel, celebrating this year its 30th anniversary, will host The Denim Talks, special talks where insiders and consumers will be updated about important “Brighter Blue”developments.
