In the 80’s the pair revolutionized the jeans market with new technical approaches such as stonewashing and introduced new baggy fits to a before often seen slim silhouette. Famous for the Pedal-pusher jeans for the ladies, which also has a lesser known male equivalent, the X-lent. Worn often by the more known and late American rapper Tupac and legendary Argentinian footballer Diego Armando Maradona.

The woman- and menswear brand focuses on a sustainable and innovative manner of doing business in the fashion industry. Keeping distances short, about 82% of the clothing in the Closed collections is made in Europe from which the largest share is made in Italy. Closed tries to keep it green and eco-friendly.
