Deadstock Fabrics

The why's and how's of our use of dead-stock fabrics and trims.

Deadstock fabrics and trims are surplus materials from the fashion industry, unused textiles left behind from overproduction, canceled orders, or discontinued designs. Despite being new and high quality, many of these materials would otherwise go to waste or end up in landfills.

This is part of a much larger issue. The fashion industry produces an enormous amount of textile waste every year, much of it generated before garments even reach consumers. The scale of this issue is significant, the global fashion industry generates over 90 million tons of textile waste each year.

By working with deadstock, we’re helping to reduce that waste and make better use of resources that already exist.

Because these fabrics have already been produced, using them avoids the environmental impact of creating new textiles such as additional water use, energy consumption, and chemical processing. It’s a more responsible approach that helps lower our overall environmental footprint.

Deadstock also allows us to create truly one of a kind pieces. These fabrics are often available in limited quantities and are no longer in production, which means each design is inherently unique.

That uniqueness does come with a limitation especially with printed fabrics. Once a material is gone, it can’t be reproduced. When it’s gone, it’s gone so if you have your eye on one of our pieces, it’s worth grabbing while it lasts.
