Why we do it

An estimated 19,000,000 tonnes of new fabric are thrown away every year, before they ever become a garment. Much of it is landfilled or burned. We take that fabric, high quality and already made, and turn it into your garments.

Before it’s thrown away

01

Around 15% of fabric is left on the cutting table

When fabric is laid out and cut into garment pieces, an estimated share of it is left over and never used.

02

Unused fabric is often landfilled or burned

Surplus rolls take up space and money at factories, so they are frequently disposed of instead of reused.

03

Deadstock is first-quality fabric, not waste

It comes from overproduction and cancelled or changed orders: new, unworn material that is ready to be cut and sewn.

Listed

Partner factories list leftover fabric from their production: composition, weight, colour and quantity.

You tell us what you want to make. We match it to the best-fitting fabric available.

A vetted partner factory produces your order, starting from 20 units.

Your project

Built around
your project.

Deadstock doesn’t mean choosing from a fixed catalogue. You define what you want; we build the production around it, using fabric that has already been validated in the market.

Why it’s more affordable

The saving is material.
Never labour.

40%cheaper on average
than a conventional order

The fabric already exists, so it costs a fraction of new material. Labour stays exactly where it should: we only work with factories and production units that pay their workers fairly.

Why deadstock

Start with
what exists.

01

Existing material first.

Your project starts with unused factory fabric that already exists.

02

The best fit available.

You tell us what you need; we find the most suitable materials available for the project.

03

Less material wasted.

Existing fabric goes back into production instead of being discarded.

04

Finite by nature.

Deadstock is limited. Availability changes, and when a fabric is gone, it’s gone.

About us

“I grew up around these factories. Hugo and I spent years running productions for brands around the world, and on every one we saw the same thing: perfectly usable fabric, left over and thrown away. Dead Stock Society exists to put it to work.”
