General information
- Short Summary
- A Copenhagen-based interior design company focused on sustainable home textiles is looking for a European manufacturer. The company specializes in transforming deadstock materials into high-quality, limited-edition interior pieces, including shower curtains, curtains, and textile art. They aim to find a manufacturer who shares their commitment to quality and sustainability for long-term collaboration.
- Full Description
-
The Danish company creates exclusive home textile products made from deadstock materials, reducing waste and aligning with the principles of the circular economy. They are currently seeking a European manufacturer experienced in curtain making and working with high-quality materials. The ideal manufacturer would demonstrate attention to detail, ensuring a polished and luxurious finish for all items, free of imperfections like loose threads.
The manufacturer should be able to work with smaller, flexible order quantities and pre-steam the textiles to avoid shrinkage in use. The collaboration will initially focus on producing shower curtains and curtains, with potential for expanded product lines in the future.
A partnership with the manufacturer is seen as a long-term relationship, with an emphasis on craftsmanship and environmental sustainability. Experience in sourcing trims locally and working with deadstock materials would be a significant advantage. - Advantages and Innovations
-
The company has made a conscious decision to primarily use deadstock textiles for its products. This choice offers multiple benefits. Economically, repurposing existing fabrics reduces costs, as these materials are often more affordable than newly produced textiles. From an environmental standpoint, it minimizes waste by preventing unused fabrics from ending up in landfills, thereby reducing the need for new resource extraction and lowering the overall carbon footprint. This approach supports the circular economy, focusing on sustainability and resource efficiency.
Socially, the use of deadstock materials aligns with the growing demand for conscious consumerism, offering products that stand out in the market for their eco-friendly credentials. Compared to traditional production methods, this sustainable approach meets consumer needs for environmentally responsible products without sacrificing style or quality. Additionally, it encourages innovation by pushing designers to creatively work with available resources, resulting in unique, one-of-a-kind pieces that help the brand distinguish itself in a competitive market.
The Danish company is looking for a partner capable of producing samples from tech packs and pre-steaming textiles to prevent shrinkage, with expertise in sewing both single and double-folded bindings. Flexibility in managing varying order quantities and production schedules is essential, along with the ability to scale up production when necessary. Competitive pricing for shower curtains, ideally between 12-18 EUR per unit, is also a key requirement.
Preferred expertise includes experience in sourcing deadstock materials and the ability to source trims locally. Proficiency in embroidery techniques, particularly those that do not require a frame, is highly valued. - Stage of Development
