Description
The fashion industry has become the world’s second-largest source of pollution.
Story Wear centers its mission on a zero-waste design philosophy, dedicated to promoting a sustainable fashion industry.
All products are made from recycled fabrics and garments.
Our production process involves local sewing mothers, women re-entering the workforce, and mothers of children with disabilities.
The collision of craftsmanship and new-generation ideas sparks creativity and innovation!
The Denim Hand-Painted Bucket Bag is made from recycled denim and allows you to add your own hand-painted designs, giving you a one-of-a-kind bag.
The strap is adjustable, and the bucket bag can be used for children’s water bottles, adults’ drinks, or other everyday needs.
Behind its creation are the hands of local women—sorting, recycling, deconstructing, patching, and sewing.
Every step ensures that fashion coexists with care for the planet, allowing style to flourish without adding further burden to the Earth.

【 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.
