In 2011, the world-renowned denim brand Levi’s® introduced to the world the concept of “Eco Love.”

Eco represents recycling, reusing, and re-creation. By combining arts and public involvement, the brand seeks to add an extra touch of environmental protection and reproduction to the existing brand image of sturdiness, stylishness and vitality. The idea of “bag it and bring it home” promotes products created from the back pockets of jeans by a group of people with mental disabilities. Any purchases out of generosity and kindness will provide their families with peace of mind.

The event “Quilt with Love” was made accessible to the public through the Internet and local schools. Especially thanks to the efforts of NCCU Art & Culture Center, the faculty and students collaborated to make this meaningful project possible. Love manifests itself in various forms against the denim backdrop. Its handmade texture of the jeans revitalizes the imagination and pieces together heartwarming images of love.
