MUD Jeans' Lease A Jeans subscription is no longer running. The company stopped taking new lease subscriptions in May 2026 and was declared bankrupt on 5 August 2026. When it was running, the Dutch denim brand let customers rent a pair of jeans for a monthly fee instead of buying them outright. After a year, members could keep the jeans, swap them for a new pair and keep leasing, or send them back. Returned jeans were part of the brand's circular approach, where old denim is recycled into fibre for new pairs. The idea suited people who wanted well made jeans without paying the full price up front and who liked knowing a worn out pair would be reused rather than thrown away. The mudjeans.com website is still online. It shows a "MUD is back, built better" message and an ordinary shop for women's and men's jeans and jackets, along with a page on why the brand wants old jeans back. The site does not offer a lease option, and it does not say who now runs the brand or how it relates to the bankrupt company. Former subscribers with questions about an existing lease should contact the company or the bankruptcy trustee directly. If you want a jeans subscription today, you will need to look elsewhere.
