Job description

About rag & bone
From our origins in New York in 2002, rag & bone was founded on a belief of uncompromising ideals: a commitment to doing things the right way, not the easy way. To making things that are as original as they are timeless. To being true to ourselves, even when that truth sets us apart from the mainstream. 
 
We still believe in the same principles we started with: the easy elegance of classic British tailoring, the authenticity of American workwear, and the originality of our home city, New York.

  • Build and maintain relationships with premium denim mills (Japan, Italy, Turkey, US) to secure exclusive or differentiated fabrication
Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree in Fashion Design, Textile Design, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
  • Deep technical expertise in fits, fabrics, and wash/finishing processes
  • Experience building relationships directly with mills and laundries; existing relationships with premium global mills (Japan, Italy, Turkey) a strong plus
  • Global perspective; prior experience with a global denim brand is a plus, as is experience within American premium/contemporary denim
