The starting point
Start with
the material.
Fabulose® gives cotton textile offcuts a different future. Developed in Goa from cotton-derived cellulose, it brings colour and translucency to material development for fashion and accessories.
Rolls and sheets leave room to work across a surface, rather than start with a finished component. Width, thickness and finish are part of the brief we develop with you.
Ask about samplesThe process / Made in Goa
From offcut
to new material.
The source stays the same. Its possibilities change.
Three stages in the development of Fabulose.
-
01Begin with cotton.
Pre-consumer textile cuttings supply the cellulose. Our starting point is material left on India's garment cutting floors.
-
02Work with the cellulose.
In Goa, we develop a new material from that cellulose. Colour, thickness and surface are explored together.
-
03Refine through making.
Rolls and sheets are trialled in the intended construction. Cutting, handling and finish inform the next round of development.
Applications / Developed with you
Develop it
for the product.
We work with designers and manufacturers to test Fabulose in the intended construction. Handling, wear and care requirements guide each application.
Work the surface.
Applied panels and detailing, developed around the shape and construction of the piece.
Resolve the detail.
Trims, cut forms and embellishments, with the edge, finish and attachment considered together.
