BLK DNM releases the first ‘connected fashion’ garments as part of FW 2023
- 72 leather jackets embedded with blockchain-enabled ‘digital garment IDs’ herald an era of intelligent, responsible fashion.
- The tech grants each item a unique identity for authentication, membership to BLK DNM Society and a ‘forever refund’ policy – with more features to follow.
- ‘Connected fashion’ encourages more responsible and less wasteful behaviors.
Swedish-American fashion brand BLK DNM today reveals the first apparel embedded with blockchain-enabled hardware, marking the first instance of ‘connected fashion’: garments that exist both physically and virtually, each aspect ‘twinned’ via technology.
72 of BLK DNM’s signature leather jackets, in 7 different styles and released as part of the brand’s FW 2023 collection, have been fitted with a ‘digital garment ID’ – an undetectable chip that gives each physical item a unique and recordable identity in the digital world, enabling a host of responsibility- and value-driving features.
The 72 jackets, across seven different styles, will retail between $1,490 and $2,490, released in drops across NYC, Chicago, LA, and Stockholm from the 5th October.

- Authentication of each garment as genuine, eliminating the possibility of fakes and counterfeiting
- Invitation to BLK DNM Society, a community of BLK DNM owners connected digitally via their garments
- A cashback ‘forever refund’ on each item at any point in the garment’s lifetime (which is designed to be almost infinite) – be it in five years or five decades – with the cash value based on how well the item has been treasured and maintained
The technology has been purpose-built by BLK DNM’s parent company, Swedish blockchain
