Excess fabric is a reality – and an opportunity.

Many sustainable brands, producers and agencies are familiar with this problem:

Surplus fabric, remaining quantities or discontinued qualities tie up capital, block storage space and are forgotten – even though they are high-quality materials.

At the same time, designers, labels and manufacturers are looking for exactly these kinds of fabrics: sustainable, limited and ready to use immediately.

This is exactly where our deadstock collaborations come in.

WHAT WE UNDERSTAND BY DEADSTOCK - AND WHAT WE DON'T

Deadstock fabrics are often generally considered sustainable. And yes, reusing materials instead of disposing of them is generally a good idea.

At the same time, we are observing that the term “deadstock” is being used increasingly vaguely – fabrics are being marketed as deadstock even though they continue to be produced or are permanently available.

That is not our understanding.

At Lebenskleidung, we work exclusively with genuine deadstocks :

Fabric surpluses, remaining quantities or discontinued qualities that will not be reproduced .

Furthermore, our deadstock fabrics come from already sustainable supply chains – such as organic cotton, TENCEL™ Lyocell, linen or wool.

For us, sustainability begins not with the resale, but with the original production of the fabric.
