SHARABATI DENIM

Sharabati Denim presents three major concepts for this season: Blacklight is about the dark indigo colors, blacks, overdyes and coated fabrics. Their overdye technique gives the fabric a range of colors on both sides for extra versatility. Indigo coating lends denim deep dark hues and creates a denim look when applied to gaberdine. Kaleidoscope is about the millennium time looks. Hi-tech and retro at the same time. More colorful, cheerful with heavy washes. 50/50 rewrites the dress code rules with hybrid working. Find comfortable and smart-looking fabrics suitable for work time.

Pioneers in the development of the most sustainable ZERO WATER dyeing technology in denim… now for piece dyeing! They dye fabrics without using water, achieving excellent fastness. This is how ROYO POLICROM was born, the magic of transformation. An endless number of colour possibilities, with very trendy finishes such as the most authentic leather effect, the futuristic metallic finish or the denim color, among others. In DENIM they highlight ICON – fabrics made from 100% recycled components and sustainable practices. ICON is recycled and recyclable, therefore, ETERNAL.

The Linen Project by Crafts Council Nederland

Sustainable Innovations

19. September 2023

Flax was traditionally grown as a crop in the Netherlands, and Dutch linen was one of the most sought-after for a long time because of its good quality. Today that is no longer the case. Therefore, in 2018, Crafts Council Nederland, in cooperation with the Fashion Design Master of ArtEZ University, initiated ‘The Linen Project’ to revive the economic viability of local flax cultivation and linen production in the Netherlands, while transforming it in a sustainable way.

The Linen Project aims to change and challenge thinking in a multidisciplinary way across fields and sectors – agriculture, history, heritage, (landscape)
architecture, fashion, food, crafts, design, contemporary art, economics, innovative business. After all, the whole world is changing. On the one hand, people are more digitally connected to each other than ever before. But at the same time, there is a growing interest in connecting to the products we use and consume every day and how they are made. How and where are our roots? How can we reconnect with deep human values and ancient knowledge and skills? The Linen Project explores the tradition of linen production in the Netherlands and drives the exchange of different values, knowledge, skills and competences across industry boundaries.

Learning by doing is the motto of the project: prototypes of new economic, social and cultural ecosystems are created in a dynamic environment, demonstrating the vital importance of (biological) diversity. The production process involves only four steps – the flax from 2019, for example, was grown on the Lingehof near Arnhem (NL), mechanically processed by Van de Bilt Zaden en Vlas in Sluiskil (NL), spun in Poland and woven into linen by Enschede Textielstad in Enschede (NL). In the process, “old” knowledge meets new technologies, so that future production is based on and builds on a restored connection between people and nature.

“The Linen Project is our collaborative effort to understand the making of local textiles and experience the beauty of it. This is a shared journey where we, learning by doing, rediscover our relationship with nature and each other.”
