Concept
The Forged Denim brand pays homage to Ernest Budd a blacksmith from the small village of Sutton in West Sussex. He was well known throughout the area for his master craftsmanship, displays of corn dollies and his hand-crafted rivets. The brand continues to encompass the legacy of Ernest Budd and tells the tale of the 60 years he lived in the village.
