A US-based fabric brand, Pallas Textiles has launched a new fabric collection made from recycled plastics collected from oceans and landfills. Titled, ‘In Good Company,’ the collection has been launched in collaboration with American design studio Limn & Loom and US-based textile manufacturer Valdese Weavers. Utilising Seaqual Yarn, this partnership aims to blend sustainability with innovative design.

A fabric known for its durability and eco-friendly composition, Seaqual Yarn is the major component of the ‘In Good Company’ collection made from recycled materials sourced from land and sea. Around 10 per cent of fabrics in this collection have been made from upcyled plastics sourced from European waterways including oceans and lakes, while the rest has been derived form post-consumer waste retrieved from landfills.

Launched by the organisation Seaqual, the collection is created by cleaning and transforming the discarded plastics into high-quality fibers to be further woven into textiles used by brands like Pallas Textiles.

The collection offers six distinct fabric ranges including Kai, a structured fabric with a heathered texture, featuring warp and weft yarns that create a sophisticated design; Hali, a plush, chunky textile made with bouclé yarn, perfect for furniture upholstery; Maren, a luxurious fabric that uses chenille and slub yarns to produce an elegant interplay of shades, creating a sense of movement; Isla, a serene fabric that captures the effect of light across surfaces with a palette inspired by scenic landscapes; Ahti, a uniform design with velvety, fine-spun yarns available in jewel tones for a pop of color and Llyr, a subtly aged look with a nuanced weave, adding depth and texture to interior spaces.

The collection aims to promote sustainable production and support Seaqual's ongoing efforts to clean up waterways. A portion of the proceeds from sales will be donated back to Seaqual, contributing to its environmental initiatives.
