Innovations and Textile Development

Innovation & Textile Development

Innovation at Fabrino is about finding better, more suitable and commercially workable ways to achieve a particular textile requirement—through fabric construction, colour, printing, finishing, surface effects and practical manufacturing.

Appearance + Performance + Process + Quantity + Commercial Feasibility

Experimentation & Process Exploration

Explore. Test. Refine.

Fabric Construction

Exploring different woven constructions, weights, GSMs, textures and fabric characteristics to suit a particular application.

Colour Development

Working with colour requirements and developing suitable shades through appropriate dyeing and processing routes.

Print Development

Exploring running prints, engineered or placement printing, multi-colour designs and other suitable print approaches.

Surface & Texture

Creating different appearances and tactile characteristics through washing, coating, waxing, distressing, finishing and other surface treatments.

Reimagined Effects

Taking an existing textile appearance or reference and exploring how a similar character can be recreated through a different fabric or process.

Bespoke Fabric Development

Combining construction, colour, print and finishing requirements to create a fabric around a specific need.

Development With Production in Mind

A development is more useful when it can eventually be produced consistently.

A client may need:

  • A particular weight without losing the desired hand feel
  • A specific colour on a particular construction
  • A print effect that needs a different approach
  • A surface effect on an existing fabric
  • A reference recreated using available materials and processes
  • A particular appearance at a commercially workable quantity
  • A modification to an existing fabric rather than a completely new development

Fabric → Construction → Colour → Process → Finish → Quantity → Application

This is where Fabrino’s design understanding, textile knowledge and manufacturing experience come together.

Have an Idea Worth Exploring?

You don’t always need to know exactly how a fabric should be made.

If you have a reference, an effect, a concept or simply a particular result you are trying to achieve, start by sharing the requirement with us.

We can assess the possibilities and determine whether it can be developed into a practical textile solution.
