BENZAK Denim Developers our story jeans Amsterdam


BENZAK is a European denim and lifestyle brand from Amsterdam, founded in 2013. We prioritise craftsmanship and timeless design to transcend trends and seasons. Besides a strong selection of core denim items, we offer chinos, shirts, sweats and tees, all produced with a fine eye for detail and quality as our number one priority.

The brand was created as the result of many years of experience in garment development and production by our founder Lennaert Nijgh. Today we’re a group of denim developers and style enthusiasts -- we’re trying to do something that resonates with our own interests, and that is true to ouselves. From the cut to the fabric, stitch count to the trimmings and contemporary styling; everything about BENZAK comes down to the finer and more meaningful details.

Quality and sustainability are at the heart of everything we do. Each BENZAK garment is carefully designed with attention to detail and crafted using the finest materials. We partner with renowned fabric mills and expert manufacturers in Japan, Italy, and Portugal to ensure our products not only ages beautifully but also stand the test of time. Through thoughtful material selection and responsible production methods, we try to contribute to a more sustainable fashion industry.

By combining traditional craftsmanship with contemporary fits and innovative production techniques, we achieve a balance between authenticity and modern style.
