Fabric & trims

Essentially, deadstock (a.k.a remnant, surplus or overstock fabric) is leftovers. When a textile mill or fashion brand makes kilometres of fabric, they deliberately overproduce to ensure there is extra in case of fabric flaws or fluctuations in yield. It’s a flawed system, but it is one that allows us to make clothing out of what would otherwise be destined to gather dust in a factory in Italy, or worst case – end up in a landfill. It allows us to have a product mix that isn’t entirely reliant on creating new materials, by using textiles that already exist. 

Our custom TSN viscose prints are EU-produced and digitally printed in France. Viscose is a semi-synthetic fibre, in that it is produced from the pulp of a variety of regenerative plants such as soy, bamboo, and sugarcane. We use a couple of different base cloths, with various certifications. An EcoVero certification means the fibre was derived from certified renewable wood sources using an eco-responsible production process that meets high environmental standards. An FSC certification means that all materials used come from responsibly managed and FSC certified forests.

We also use 100% silk, usually yoryu or crepe de chine, for our custom prints. We love to wear and design clothes in silk because it just looks and feels so good. We work with our friends at Wall Fabrics and Fabric Merchants to develop these with their carefully chosen partner mills in China.
