Monkey Wash

Achieve bold contrast and edgy aesthetics with Monkey Wash—a potassium permanganate technique that delivers intense, localized fade effects for high-impact denim designs.

Why Monkey Wash?

Bold Fade. Distinct Style.

Monkey Wash uses potassium permanganate to create strong, vintage-like fades on key garment zones. It’s ideal for standout denim pieces—especially when combined with whiskering or hand brushing—for a layered, worn-in look that grabs attention.
