Kalopsia

Kalopsia Kalopsia is an award-winning Textiles Product Manufacturer of apparel and accessories in Dunfermline, Scotland.

Our background may seem unconventional but our aims are simple:

We believe a sustainable industry is vital to the future of textiles. We take active steps to ensure that textile waste is kept to a minimum. Working alongside designers and brands we encourage a new "made-to-order" production which is more economical and less wasteful. Kalopsia encourages a culture of rejecting mass produced, poorly

made ‘fast fashion’ and favors high quality textiles products that have been made with craftmanship and skill from concept to manufacture.
