Denim Little Horse

Every retired jersey was once worn, run in, and drenched in youth and sweat;
it carried a child’s dream and every ounce of effort on the field.
Now, they take the field again, bringing blessings and energy to accompany you every step of the Year of the Horse.

▎Materials｜Recycled Baseball Jerseys × Upcycled Denim

Before we encountered the Basegarden Education Foundation, these jerseys were resting quietly in boxes. They weren’t damaged, only set aside as seasons ended, children grew, and sizes no longer fit.

But in Story Wear’s eyes, the frayed fabric and ground-in red clay stains are proof of effort, visible marks of having tried hard.

We gathered retired baseball jerseys from across Taiwan and paired them with Story Wear’s signature recycled denim, stitching together every swing, sprint, drop of sweat, and moment of perseverance from the field. Reborn as a talisman of support you can carry with you, it keeps the spirit of the game alive wherever you go.

▎Craftsmanship｜Hand-Sewn, One-of-a-Kind
Cuteness isn’t mass-produced, it’s sewn stitch by stitch.
Story Wear handcrafts each little horse:

• The mesh fabric from recycled jerseys varies in texture and color, creating distinctive patterns;

• The mane and tail, made from frayed recycled denim, differ in fluffiness and lines.

• Each horse has its own personality, a proof of its uniqueness.

▎How to Use｜Carry It With You to Welcome the Year of the Horse
The little horse charm comes with silver-plated hardware, easy to open and secure, perfect to hang on bag handles or keys.
Turn the story of a recycled baseball jersey into a New Year mascot; let cuteness and sustainability accompany you throughout the Year of the Horse.
*Each horse charm is hand-sewn, so slight differences in appearance are normal; perfectionists, please consider before ordering.

【 Denim fabric maintenance and precautions 】

▎ Why does denim fade?

Denim fabric uses environmentally friendly natural plant dyes, which are prone to dyeing and fading. It's normal for the color to fade after washing. Therefore, items from different periods will display unique colors due to differences in individual washing methods and wearing habits.

▎ Dress carefully

1. Avoid wearing with white clothing to prevent dye transfer from the denim fabric.

2. If the garment has spliced white fabric, slight staining of the white part may occur due to prolonged wear or friction with the dark denim part, which is a normal phenomenon.

▎ Washing Precautions

1. The fabric may have a slight color fade due to the natural dye characteristics. White clothing should be washed separately to avoid dye transfer.

2. For the first wash, please hand wash in cold water or use a laundry bag and select a gentle cycle.

3. Do not bleach, dry, or iron. Keep it away from high temperatures and fire.

4. If the garment contains spliced white fabric, have it dry-cleaned by a professional cleaner to ensure the integrity and color of the fabric.

▎Maintenance method

1. Avoid using bleach or strong detergents to protect the color and texture of the fabric.

2. Avoid strong or prolonged exposure to light to prevent damage to the color and cotton fibers.

3. The white part can be cleaned regularly with a special stain remover to maintain its brightness and whiteness.

4. Do not put sharp objects directly into the pockets to avoid puncturing or scratching the product.

5. Denim fabric may transfer color or stain other contacting items or clothing due to rain, sweat, or friction. Please be aware of usage.
