We wanted to let you know about new eco textiles launched in the U.S. this week, at the Outdoor Retailer Summer Market in Salt Lake City.

A few of the highlights:
  • A new eco fabric dye that dramatically cuts water use and carbon dioxide production
  • The world’s first textile and bio-foam made from coffee
  • A new fabric that measures vital signs and motion data, so you can leave your Fitbit at home
  • World’s first PFC-free polyester filament that’s naturally water-repellant
  • Environmentally-friendly activewear, including a hood that also functions as a pillow
The Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA)  recently hosted the Taiwan New Products Launchat the Outdoor Retailer Summer Market in Salt Lake City, Utah. Four of Taiwan’s leading textile manufacturers presented innovative products: Far Eastern New Century Corporation, QMI Industrial Company, Ltd., Singtex Industrial Company, Ltd., and Tex-Ray Industrial Co., Ltd.

New product categories included cutting-edge fabric printing technology; smart textiles measuring heart rate and motion data; textile innovations utilizing fewer chemicals, water and raw materials while preserving function and complex colors; and the world’s first PFC-free durable water repellant (DWR) polyester filament, PFC-free soil release polyester filament, and bio-based membrane and foam from coffee oil.

The program began with distinguished speakers presenting welcome remarks and the vision for Taiwan’s textile industry.
Simon Lai, executive director, Taiwan Trade Center, San Francisco thanked attendees for their interest in Taiwan’s new product showcase. “Today, we are introducing breakthrough products and materials that represent the best of Taiwanese textile innovation. The Outdoor Retailer Summer Market is the perfect setting for new partnerships.”

Joseph C.L. Ma, director-general, Taipei Economic and Cultural Office, San Francisco remarked, “With a global growing trend in eco-friendliness, Taiwanese suppliers have devoted research and development to green technologies to meet customer demands and achieve goals of sustainability and corporate social responsibility.” Mr. Ma emphasized Taiwan’s competitive advantage in functional, environmental, and smart fabrics comes from its strong development of functional artificial fibers, which helps produce a wide variety of fabrics. Taiwan’s fabric industry also incorporates semiconductor, biomedical and cross-industry innovations. “Today’s event provides a good platform for Taiwanese manufacturers and the global outdoor industry to foster more collaborations,” he concluded.

Melissa Wang, deputy director, Market Development Department, Taiwan Textile Federation presented “The Vision of Taiwan Textile Industry,” including product differentiation, design and creativity, function combined with eco-consciousness, and branding.  Special guest, Derek Miller, president of the World Trade Center, Utah spoke about the importance of international trade to Utah and its successful relationship with Taiwan.  Four of Taiwan’s leading textile manufacturers presented innovative products.

Far Eastern New Century Corporation presented two world-first products. FENC ® TopDry® Zero is the world’s first PFC-free DWR polyester filament. The polymer is intrinsically water-repellent, offering permanent and superior DWR performance. FENC®TopClean is the world’s first PFC-free polyester filament allowing for easy soil removal. The polymer naturally eases removal of soil and stains when soaked in pure water, while offering superior nylon-like comfort. Additionally, the company showcased FENC® DynaFeedTM which uses a highly durable ultra-thin organic matrix to seamlessly and sustainably integrate the textile world with the digital. The DynaFeedTM directly measures real-time performance information during training, which is then displayed in an app the athlete can use to fine-tune performance.

QMI Industrial Company, Ltd. presented The Aqua Terra fabric and the Roam Anywear Hood, two of the latest VAST Tech developments. Created with the user in mind, they allow active nature lovers to get closer to nature in their busy lives. Marrying function with form, the Aqua Terra fabric and Roam Anywear Hood offer minimalist designs, fusing multiple functions into singular products. They effectively limit the amount of production resources needed, making them environmentally friendly. Aqua Terra is a fabric for garments that go from the mountains, to the oceans, to the office. The Roam Anywear Hood easily inflates to become a pillow.

Singtex Industrial Company, Ltd. presented three products. The AIRMEM™, the latest innovation from S.Café®, pushes textiles to a new level. Twenty-five percent of the material is comprised of coffee oil extracted from spent coffee grounds. Its membrane replaces petroleum-based materials with a more sustainable alternative. Twenty-five percent of S.Café®'s bio-foam, The AIRNEST™, is derived from the sustainable source of coffee oil. The AIRNEST™ presents a new alternative to petroleum-based ingredients, while providing a high-performance textile. The AIRNEST™ applies to a wide range of functionality and end-user markets. S.Café®'s innovation continues with its cutting-edge fabric printing technology, the P4DRY™. Repurposed coffee grounds give the print layer four key attributes: it dries quickly, controls odor, reduces the rate of condensation, and is tremendously sustainable.

Tex-Ray Industrial Co., Ltd., by 2020, will improve its environmental footprint by reducing water usage and decreasing CO2 emissions during raw material production. Texray Performance Green House supplies and presented a series of collections that maintain their beauty and performance while being non-toxic. The Eco series can be divided into three categories: less chemicals with more function, represented by T-Cool and T-Hot fabrics; less water with fancy colors, represented by the ECO-lor dyeing technology; less raw material usage, represented by Recycle Poly with Blue Dye products.

Exhibitors and attendees from the industry remarked it was impressive to hear the overview of Taiwan’s textile industry and learn about the innovative eco-products and materials discussed in the presentations and displayed in the demos.

According to estimates of the Taiwan Textile Research Institute's ITIS research team (April, 2017), the output value (including overseas production) of Taiwan's functional fabrics accounted for roughly 50 percent of the global output value of functional fabrics, making Taiwan the world's largest functional fabric production base.

Bibby Financial Services Expands Support of California Apparel Industry with $2 Million in Financing to a Casual Apparel Company 


Funding Improves Company’s Ability to Meet Increasing Demand and Keep Pace with Seasonal Fashion Trends 

Bibby Financial Services (BFS) today announced a $2 million factoring facility delivered to a casual apparel company based in California.  The company provides outdoor and surfing-themed t-shirts and other apparel to specialty retailers and to consumers via bespoke e-commerce sites. The funding will boost the company’s cash flow, enabling it to take on larger inventory orders and update the clothing line each season to meet changing consumer trends. The new account is funded and managed by BFS’s office in Westlake Village, California.

The apparel company partners with local artists to design clothing inspired by California’s outdoor lifestyle. In addition to back-office support and advance payment of invoices from the factoring facility, they will also benefit from BFS’s extensive experience in the apparel industry, for which BFS has been a significant source of funding for more than a decade in North America. Notably, BFS used its commercial financing expertise and knowledge of apparel businesses to structure a flexible financing package that simplified the funding process and reduced the amount of paperwork the client was required to submit.

“Factoring is a popular financing solution particularly well-suited for fashion and apparel companies, which must often deliver their products well in advance of getting paid and must continually refresh their clothing lines to stay relevant,” said Ian Watson, CEO of Bibby Financial Services in North America. “Working with our client to help them attain the financial flexibility needed to navigate such a dynamic industry is exciting. BFS continues to expand its presence in California’s apparel industry as we build on our legacy of creating working capital solutions for small and large companies alike.”

According to the client, quick and easy funding is just one of the reasons they chose Bibby Financial Services as a financing partner. The strategic guidance and knowledge of the apparel industry the team at BFS brings to the table are invaluable assets for clients seeking to grow their business and adapt to industry changes.

Apparel companies make up the largest portion of business for BFS in California. In 2016, BFS provided more than $99 million to over 50 apparel companies and has grown its client base in the apparel industry by 30% over the past 3 years.  Roughly half of BFS’s apparel clients are serviced by the company’s California office.

Birdies is a story of two girlfriends solving a decade long problem.  When they met 10 years ago in Manhattan, they never anticipated starting a shoe company.  In fact, it was the furthest thing from their minds.  Bianca had spent her career in advertising sales and Marisa in management consulting.  But they both had a recurring problem they soon discovered extended well beyond their network: finding slippers that were both comfortable and stylish.  And they needed slippers that kept up with their active lifestyles, from entertaining friends and family to working from home to running after their energetic kids.  And so the idea for Birdies was hatched and the company launched in November of 2015,

OK, they are authentic, but not exactly original.  It appears that the Levi's designers sourced vintage men’s 501® Jeans and sized them down to a skinny fit.  Each piece bears the unique markings from its original wearer—complete with natural rips and twisted seams. 

501® VINTAGE SKINNY ALTERED

Limited size run.
  • High Rise
  • Skinny Leg
501 Vintage Altered Jeans
Levi's® Altered epitomizes their approach to remastering classic designs in a range of essential, authentic finishes. This season, they have deconstructed and altered their most coveted styles to create one-of-a-kind pieces. They began with the 501® Skinny — a timeless Levi's® style, redesigned and remastered. This is the world's most coveted jean, customized with a slimmer leg that's cropped to a perfect, versatile length. Building upon their iconic 501®, it's a re-interpretation for today. They took this to the next level and altered it to perfection, just for you.

Style # 361250000

Again, it is our understanding that these vintage 501 jeans started as "men's jeans" and appear to have been sized down to become women's jeans).

Rain Dove #oneofakind Campaign By Sisley

"#oneofakind is the hashtag of choice for Sisley’s new FW17 Campaign, conceived by star photographer Bettina Rheims: Sisley once again challenges gender stereotypes with grace, style and sensibility.
The headliners of the campaign, dressed in iconic Sisley outfits, pose in front of wooden boxes that bring to mind those used for transporting great works of art: among them are transgender models Stav Strashko and Casil McArthur, American Rain Dove (who in her career has posed in both male and female clothes), as well as Fernanda Beuker, Sohyun Jung, Adela Stenberg and Freddie Ashcroft, one-of-a-kind charmers with androgynous looks.
The issue of gender equality is difficult to “capture”, as evidenced by the set design, as well as the clichés of what is masculine and what is feminine. "To open new paths, people’s reactions and emotions, including anger and fear, must be triggered,” says French photographer Bettina Rheims and Sisley chose to deal with society’s prejudices by showing individuals for what they truly are, giving them an even stronger voice. This is an important step for the brand, known for its rebellious identity as well as for its unconventional points of view: a new chapter in an original, unique and modern story."
Taking the modeling industry by storm, androgynous model Rain Dove walks in both menswear and womenswear fashion shows. Rain Dove is a model, an activist and actor.
