Tunisian Textiles, a Green Transition, a Circular Collection: by FTTH

Tunisia Threads the Future: How the Country’s Apparel Industry is Leading a Circular Revolution

In the heart of North Africa, a quiet revolution is underway – one that’s stitching together sustainability, innovation, and economic opportunity. Tunisia, long recognized for its craftsmanship and expertise in textile manufacturing, is emerging as a leader in the global movement toward circular fashion. Under the guidance and support of the Centre for the Promotion of Imports from developing countries (CBI – www.cbi.eu), a pioneering collective of Tunisian apparel manufacturers has developed a transformative initiative: an apparel collection entirely made from industrial textile waste.

This isn’t just a fashion collection – it’s a statement of change.

From Waste to Worth
The collection, developed from cutting waste, fabrics leftovers, and post-production waste, reimagines what fashion can be in a world on the edge of an environmental crisis. By turning industrial waste into wearable, high-quality garments, Tunisian manufacturers are proving that sustainability equals opportunity. Each piece in the collection tells a story of resilience, ingenuity, and the creative power of collaboration.

The initiative brings together a network of forward-thinking factories and designers united by a shared goal: to accelerate the transition to a circular economy. Tunisia is not only reducing its environmental footprint but also increasing the value it offers to European brands eager to meet their sustainability targets.

 

A Collective Force for Change
This collective of manufacturers – many of whom have been supplying European labels for decades – represents the best of what Tunisia has to offer: agility, quality, and a deep understanding of textile production. But now, they are going further. They are redesigning production lines, investing in circular design skills, and establishing closed-loop systems that allow them to collect and reuse waste internally. The result is a resilient, future-ready industry that’s setting new benchmarks for the region – and beyond.

CBI’s involvement has been instrumental in catalysing this shift. Through training, matchmaking, and market access support, CBI helped Tunisian companies establish themselves at the forefront of sustainable sourcing for the European market. It’s a win-win scenario: European buyers gain access to circular products with a transparent supply chain, while Tunisian companies tap into growing demand and strengthen their competitiveness.

“This isn’t just a fashion collection – it’s a statement of change.”

Tunisia’s Unique Edge
Tunisia’s strategic location, just a short distance across the Mediterranean, gives it a logistical advantage over distant Asian suppliers. But its real edge lies in its people – highly skilled textile workers, innovative entrepreneurs, and a new generation of eco-conscious creators. This circular collection demonstrates how Tunisian know-how, combined with global best practices, can become a powerful engine for change.

Moreover, Tunisia’s existing infrastructure and long-standing ties to Europe make it an ideal partner for brands looking to nearshore their production and reduce their carbon footprint. The country’s commitment to renewable energy and water-saving techniques further strengthens its credentials as a sustainable manufacturing hub.

Leading Europe’s Green Transition
With its circular apparel collection, the Tunisia is offering more than garments – it’s offering a vision. A vision where economic growth no longer comes at the planet’s expense, and where creativity thrives. As European brands seek authentic, sustainable partners to help them meet the demands of tomorrow, Tunisia stands ready – not just as a supplier, but as a gamechanger.

Final Thread
In a global industry facing overproduction and waste, Tunisia’s circular apparel initiative is a breath of fresh air – and a powerful reminder that transformation is not only necessary, but entirely possible. With the support of CBI and the determination of its local manufacturers, Tunisia is proving that when it comes to building a sustainable future, it’s not just about changing fashion – it’s about changing awareness through collaboration.

EAST Autumn/Winter 26/27: A Season of Innovation, Craft, and Conscious Design

As the leaves turn and the air grows crisp, EAST unveils its Autumn/Winter 26/27 collection – a celebration of modern femininity, global craftsmanship, and sustainable innovation. With a legacy rooted in design excellence and a future focused on responsibility, this season marks a bold evolution in the company’s journey as one of Europe’s leading private label suppliers of women’s wear.

Design That Inspires
At the heart of EAST is a dynamic design team of 14 creatives who develop up to 100 new styles each week. These are curated into 11 capsules, each tailored to meet the diverse needs of their customers – from commercial essentials to high fashion statements. Showrooms in Denmark, Germany, Spain, and China are updated weekly, offering a constant stream of fresh inspiration.

Global Craftsmanship, Local Expertise
Production hubs in China, India, and Morocco bring the collection to life. In Guangzhou, the sourcing team works daily with the city’s renowned fabric market to stay ahead of trends. In Delhi and Tiruppur, the focus is on natural fibers and intricate craftsmanship. Meanwhile, the Moroccan division delivers monthly denim capsules with cutting-edge washes and sustainable materials like BCI cotton and Lenzing Lyocell.

Material Innovation Meets Sustainability
This season, rich textures, detailed embroidery, and elevated denim take center stage. Sourcing teams are constantly exploring new fabrics – dobbies, crepes, voiles – and innovative techniques that push the boundaries of creativity. Sustainability is not an afterthought but a core value: Certified materials are used, water and CO₂ usage is reduced, and waste is minimized through 3D development and fitting.

“Sourcing teams are constantly exploring new fabrics – dobbies, crepes, voiles – and innovative techniques that push the boundaries of creativity.”

Technology That Transforms
3D sample development service allows customers to visualize garments in realistic detail – saving time, reducing costs, and lowering the carbon footprint. With first samples ready in just 2–3 days and lead times of 4–6 weeks, speed is combined with precision.

A Responsible Future

STELLA BLU PRESENTS ITS FIRST COOLTRANS DENIM COLLECTION
MADE WITHOUT INDIGO

4. January 2024

Stella Blu is very proud to announce to be the first Denim mill in the world to adopt the use of NTX Cooltrans – the revolutionary waterless coloration technology into its production of denim & colored denim fabrics.

The coloration process happens with extreme precision and consistency every time and is applicable to almost any fabrics, natural, cellulose-based or synthetics man-made without the need for heat and over 90% reduction in water usage without compromising the fabric’s engineered feel or functional performance.

Conventional denim has an extensive use of water, heat and chemicals starting from the initial processes of fabric making – dyeing yarns into several indigo baths – all the way down to laundry processes to create that vintage distressed look.

“With Cooltrans, we are able to completely eliminate these two processes.”, says Marco Stefanelli, director of marketing & business development at Stella Blu. “We start from a white PFD fabric and then the coloration process happens without heat at both sides simultaneously in only one single pass—the front face gets the printed washed look and the back side face gets printed with the twill line or any other pattern the client’s desire.”

This technology opens up extremely exciting possibilities. For instance, clients could have a single quality greige and print nearly infinite combination of aesthetics. By doing so, they can drastically improve the speed to market with much lower SKUs.

Many denim brands today maintain extensive material libraries, consisting of well over 500 different types of fabric, solely for the purpose of achieving a desired look. However, with Cooltrans, the aesthetic can be completely independent of the fabric composition. By calibrating the process to a specific fabric base, brands can achieve a wide range of aesthetics on a single twill type, resulting in tremendous costs savings.

Furthermore, addressing the environmental impact of indigo dye is a shared concern within the industry. Cooltrans is seen as a promising solution to reduce the toxicity associated with indigo dye as there is no indigo involved in the entire process, which is an additional key point that many brand houses view it favourably.

MUNICH FABRIC START, BLUEZONE & VIEW: FULL FLEXIBILITY

18. April 2023

A strong start to the season in July, order decisions at short notice in September

MUNICH FABRIC START Exhibitions GmbH offers one thing above all with the positioning of its trade show formats in terms of dates and content for sourcing for Autumn.Winter 24/25: full flexibility.

In future, the July date will be used by the international fabric trade show MUNICH FABRIC START with KEYHOUSE, THE SOURCE and BLUEZONE as an impulse generator; the September date will remain an important time for follow-ups and for picking up on new and short-term market developments with reVIEW, the new concept of the VIEW PREMIUM SELECTION.

With a current booking level of almost 90% for the international fabric trade show MUNICH FABRIC START, KEYHOUSE, THE SOURCE and BLUEZONE, Munich Fabric Start Exhibitions GmbH is starting the new season for Autumn.Winter 24/25 on a strong footing. From the organisers’ point of view, the main reason for the high level of acceptance from internationally important fabric and trim exhibitors, renowned agencies, top European weavers and textile designers is the rebalancing of the July dates.

Previously, the VIEW PREMIUM SELECTION had taken place at the end of June/beginning of July with a selective choice of high-quality fabric and accessories collections. From 18 to 20 July 2023, the Munich-based trade show organiser will now successfully occupy the early date for the first time with the full power as one of Europe’s leading fabric trade shows: the international fabric trade show MUNICH FABRIC START (18 to 20 July), the innovation hub KEYHOUSE, the one-stop sourcing platform THE SOURCE and the international denim trade show BLUEZONE (18 and 19 July) will move ahead and at the same time increase their relevance in the international trade show scene.

For a large part of the visitors, the earlier date is closer to the collection rhythms and offers more time for further developments. Same goes for the BLUEZONE community and the denim business anyway – the approval for the July date could hardly be greater, which makes the organisers particularly happy on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of BLUEZONE as the first denim dedicated trade show.

Important exhibitors – including returnees – such as Ballesio, Cadica, Discovery Denim, East & Silk, Fauck, Lanificio Campore, Mapel, Naveena Denim, Pricoh’s, Sintopel, Sourcetextile, Studio 9, Taiwan Textile Federation and YKK as well as new entries like Esdigital, IBERIS Lda, Jeanius, Jersey Print Factory, Lucky Textile Group, Marjomotex, Neelams Itl, Splash by Lo, Victor Texteis or Wouters have already confirmed their participation along with many others.

“The strongest and most professional trade show for our segment clearly accommodates our development traits with its date. This date is much closer to our rhythms and, with its strong exhibitor portfolio, MFS has considerably more influence on the creation of our collections.

Especially for Bluezone – a unique, creative and inspiring space for us every time – the date is very convenient as it offers more time for washing developments and creative elaborations. With their ideas and implementations, the MFS & Bluezone team always has its finger on the pulse of time which enables us to incorporate additional inspirations into our work”

Michael Seiter, Head of Product Division Denim & Chino, HOLY FASHION GROUP

What’s new?

Due to the early date of MUNICH FABRIC START and BLUEZONE, the Munich trade show duo with KEYHOUSE and THE SOURCE formats will function even more strongly as an impulse generator and leading international event. The Munich location will also be strengthened by the relocation of the DMI Fashion Day from Düsseldorf to the Bavarian capital. In order to create maximum synergies in terms of travel times and travel costs, the first DMI FASHION DAY LIVE after the pandemic-related interruption will take place the day before the next MUNICH FABRIC START at the MOC.

The course will also be set anew in September: The date, which remains important for the industry, will in future be occupied by reVIEW – the new format of the VIEW PREMIUM SELECTION for follow-ups and highly topical, short-term trends as well as new market developments. On an area of around 2,500 square metres, the first reVIEW Autumn.Winter 24/25 will be held on 13 and 14 September 2023 on the Zenith grounds in Motorworld. With its gigantic dimensions and spectacular architecture, the listed location is one of the largest cantilevered historic steel halls in Europe.

“Trends are short-term and more fast-moving than ever. The presentation and ordering rhythms are constantly shifting. There is no one right time. With two highly relevant dates in July and September, we offer the market security and reliability on the one hand and full flexibility on the other”

Sebastian Klinder, Managing Director MUNICH FABRIC START Exhibitions GmbH

“The feedback from the textile industry as well as from international brands confirms that we have placed the right offer. Both events have great potential and complement each other perfectly. We support the market by offering the right platform at the right time to bring the relevant players together. And we do this without overlapping with other international trade show formats of the fashion business.”

Frank Junker, Creative Director der Munich Fabric Start Exhibitions GmbH

Strong encouragement from the fashion industry

The response is extremely positive, not only from exhibitors but also from international designers, product managers and buyers. In a tense market situation, MUNICH FABRIC START shows strength, forwardlookingness and reliability. MUNICH FABRIC START is the start of the new season and the most important show for early trend information.

“The MUNICH FABRIC START is of great importance for our work – to be more precise, it is indispensable!
The earlier the deadline, the first input for the new collection, the more precise and pointed the result.
The reVIEW also remains relevant at the new, later date and supports our dynamic design process.”

Katerina Grigoriadis, Head of Design DayDream, MAC Mode GmbH & Co KGaA

“For our team, the new season starts with the MFS. We always take our inspiration from the colours, the forum and the exhibitors and work out our concepts for the collections accordingly. The exchange with producers and exhibitors is also indispensable and both,
MFS and View are a great platform to do so.

We discuss new themes but also previous orders. Meeting everyone at the same time and place in person is a great added value for our cooperation. In the past, we did this in Paris at PV, however this has been completely replaced by MFS.”

Tülay Önder, Head of Product Design, HALLHUBER

“For us, Munich Fabric Start is the most important trade show for preliminary information, for aligning the collection and for matching materials. Next to Milano Unica, it is the most important sourcing show. We welcome the earlier date of Munich Fabric Start very much. Instead of View, it will now be the most important show for us to get information early. We are excited about the process and are looking forward to it.”

Gerhard Kränzle, CEO, HILTL Hosen-Manufaktur GmbH

“The Munich Fabric Start is always an important milestone in our collection development. We are particularly interested in the trend themes and colours, which we compare with our developments to confirm or adapt them accordingly.

We are very keen to attend lectures on relevant topics such as sustainability, CAD, fair labour standards and always look forward to meeting your stars like Li Edelkoort.

The earlier date suits us very well. As knitters we already start with the new colours mid-May so the new date actually fits better into our schedule. A visit to the VIEW is a must in any development process. Since it will now take place in September, we will definitely visit this small and fine.”

Melanie Geyer, Senior Designer Knitwear, MAERZ München

“In my point of view, the early date is a meaningful step. I am pleased about the early overview & choice of collections. I also welcome the fact that flat weave and denim suppliers are brought together at this time. The September event has to prove itself and depends on the new & further developments of the collections. We appreciate both events to date and will continue to use them in the future.”

How Polopiqué has managed to distinguish itself through its innovation

An interview with Rosario Rodrigues

18. August 2022

With more than 80 years of experience in the textile industry, Polopiqué is considered to be a leader in the textile industry. The company  has managed to distinguish itself by mastering all phases of the textile production process, from spinning, weaving and finalization, to garment and commercialization of high quality products.

MUNICH FABRIC START had the opportunity to have a one on one interview with Rosario Rodrigues on how the Polopiqué has managed to distinguish itself through its innovation.

Polopiqué is an exhibitor at MUNICH FABRIC START 2022 in the new Hall 8 – THE SOURCE.
Already booked out for weeks, THE SOURCE is the new European One Stop Solution for holistic fashion sourcing. 65 selected international manufacturing companies will present their offers from Cut-Make-Trim (CMT) to High End Production. A cluster of the most important sourcing countries such as Portugal, Turkey, Morocco, Tunisia, Bosnia and Vietnam creates a business-relevant mix for risk diversification, independent of genre and price level. MUNICH FABRIC START has developed the new Hall 8 with around 2,500 square meters of additional space for this purpose. The recently restored Lokhalle, a listed building directly adjacent to the former MUNICH FABRIC START site, is the perfect location. With its gigantic dimensions and spectacular architecture, it is one of Europe’s largest cantilevered historic steel halls.
The result is a unique new venue for flexible sourcing services and rethought value chains.

How does Polopiqué distinguish itself in the textile industry?

Polopiqué is one of the few complete vertical textile industries worldwide, controlling production from spinning, weaving/knitting and finishing to making high-quality garments. At Polopiqué, we don’t just deliver the garment; we also provide the ideas, the solutions and the designs. We include creativity and design in everything we do.  

Why has Polopiqué chosen Portugal for its production?

Polopiqué is a Portuguese family company with decades of tradition in the textile industry. In addition, Polopiqué was created and established in the most relevant geographical area in terms of textiles in Portugal. Therefore, we privilege this know-how and proximity, and we should consider the many benefits of local production in terms of sustainability, agility and quality guarantee.

How does Polopiqué optimize processes to improve the quality of manufactured products? 

“Investing in Research and Development activities to constantly adopt new and innovative raw materials and production processes. It is also imperative to stay up to date regarding more agile and ecological modern technology and machinery.”

 Polopiqué is a member of the Better Cotton initiative; what does that mean?  

Better Cotton is the world’s leading sustainability initiative, presenting the mission to help cotton communities survive and thrive while protecting and restoring the environment. The better cotton initiative makes global cotton production better for producers, the environment, and the cotton sector’s future. It is about interacting with the whole supply chain to transform how cotton is sourced, ensure the improvement of the working conditions and a higher standard of living for farming communities, and spreading knowledge, support and resources for more sustainable practices in cotton production and other crops. 

What are your thoughts on certification used in the textile industry?

We believe it is vital to convey trust and transparency to customers and consumers in their purchase acts to make informed choices. It is also relevant to involve them so that they feel an essential part in choosing brands with better practices throughout the chain of the production cycle. 

Did you face challenges during the pandemic? And how did you deal with them?

Yes, of course, and at that stage, we invested in the production of personal protective equipment and products related to medicine and health, proving our ability to adapt to new situations and the flexibility of our team and production processes when developing new types of products.

What’s next for Polopique? What direction do you see your company taking in the coming years?

Continuing to surprise the market with innovations through constant R&D practices, taking advantage of new raw materials and production processes. Also reinforcing the weight and presence in new markets and business areas, namely in home textiles.

How important is it to be unique yet still have a recognizable factor in your work?

Very important. Polopiqué is flexible and proud to find solutions to most of our customer’s requests. Furthermore, by controlling all stages of the production process, we can guarantee higher quality standards and better agility.
