Why We Use Deadstock Fabrics at Numbat Fashion
At Numbat Fashion, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the heart of everything we do. Our commitment to creating eco-friendly fashion is reflected in every design, every decision, and every fabric we use. Today, we’re shining a spotlight on one of our most important practices: using deadstock fabrics.
What Are Deadstock Fabrics?
Deadstock fabrics refer to unused and excess textile materials that were originally produced for a specific purpose but never utilized. These high-quality fabrics are often left over from manufacturers, mills, or previous collections and can otherwise end up as waste.
At Numbat, we see an opportunity in these forgotten treasures. Instead of letting them go to waste, we give them a new life by transforming them into beautiful garments with timeless appeal.
Why Choose Deadstock Fabrics?
Some might think that using deadstock fabrics is about saving money, but the truth is—these fabrics are not cheaper than standard textiles. For us, it’s about aligning with our mission as a green brand.
Here’s why deadstock fabrics matter:
1. Reducing Waste
The fashion industry generates significant textile waste each year. By repurposing existing materials, we help reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills, contributing to a more sustainable planet.
2. Minimising Resource Consumption
Producing new textiles requires vast amounts of water, energy, and raw materials. By using fabrics that have already been created, we minimise the environmental impact of our production processes.
3. Unique Designs
Every deadstock fabric we source has a story. It allows us to create limited-edition pieces that are as special and distinctive as the people who wear them. When you purchase a Numbat design made from deadstock, you’re getting a truly one-of-a-kind item.
A Commitment to Green Fashion
As a sustainable brand, our dedication extends beyond fabrics. In the same way that Numbat Sport champions sustainability with ECONYL—a regenerated nylon made from waste materials—Numbat Fashion is proud to lead the way with deadstock fabrics.
This practice allows us to:
Promote circularity by reusing and repurposing materials.
Champion thoughtful design by prioritising quality and sustainability.
Support conscious consumption by encouraging customers to invest in meaningful, lasting pieces.
Looking to the Future
As we prepare for upcoming collections, we’re excited to include more designs inspired by timeless 1930s silhouettes, crafted with care using deadstock fabrics. While the fabrics may vary, our commitment to sustainable fashion will remain unwavering.
Thank you for supporting Numbat Fashion. Together, we’re proving that style and sustainability can go hand in hand. Explore our latest collection and join us in making a difference—one garment at a time.
