A bold and vintage-inspired denim wash defined by high-contrast textures and distinctive mottled patterns.
Acid wash uses a chemical oxidizing agent—typically potassium permanganate—to create sharp, irregular white patches on indigo denim. The result is a striking, retro-inspired finish that evokes 80s and 90s aesthetics, ideal for bold, standout styles.
