做丹寧這麼多年，
我們一直想解決一件事：布不該被丟掉。
所以我們在台灣把它變成真的——舊丹寧織回新丹寧，可追溯、台灣製。很想認識願意一起把循環丹寧做好的品牌夥伴。🙂
合作歡迎來信 [email protected]

After years in denim, one thing kept bugging us:
fabric shouldn't end up as waste. So we built a real closed loop in Taiwan — denim back into denim, fully traceable.
We'd love to meet brands who want to do circular denim right.

這幾年，我們一直相信：
牛仔布的未來，不只是從織布開始，而是從棉花開始。

最近看到 Levi Strauss & Co. 宣布在巴基斯坦推動 Regenerative and Resilient Landscape Initiative, LRI，
以再生農法、土壤健康、水資源管理、生物多樣性與農民韌性為核心，重新思考丹寧產業的棉花供應鏈。

對 496 Fabric Lab 來說，
這是一個很重要的產業訊號。
因為我們早在兩年前，
就已經開始導入 Regenerative Cotton，
並將它應用在我們最核心的 Jacquard Denim 開發中。

我們相信，
永續不只是選擇更好的材料，
而是從棉花、紗線、織造結構、緹花設計到品牌故事，
重新建立一套更負責任的丹寧開發方式。

當全球丹寧品牌開始加速投入 Regenerative Cotton，
也代表我們過去這兩年選擇的方向，
正在逐漸成為產業下一階段的重要趨勢。

Weaving the Future with Regenerative Cotton & Jacquard Denim.

⸻

Over the past few years, we have believed that the future of denim does not begin with weaving — it begins with cotton.

Levi Strauss & Co.’s recent launch of the Regenerative and Resilient Landscape Initiative, LRI in Pakistan is an important signal for the denim industry. By focusing on regenerative farming, soil health, water stewardship, biodiversity, and farmer resilience, Levi’s is rethinking cotton sourcing as a strategic foundation for the next generation of responsible denim.

At 496 Fabric Lab, we began introducing Regenerative Cotton into our core Jacquard Denim development two years ago.

For us, sustainability is not only about choosing better materials.
It is about rethinking the entire fabric creation process — from cotton, yarn, weaving structure, and jacquard design to the way brands communicate their stories.

As global denim leaders continue to move toward Regenerative Cotton, we are encouraged to see that the direction we chose early is becoming part of the industry’s next chapter.

The new initiative will promote regenerative farming, restore ecosystems and support the long-term well-being of farming families.

Denim is no longer only about washes, silhouettes, or casualwear.

After Denim Première Vision Milan,
one clear message stood out to us: denim is becoming a more intelligent material culture — where heritage, craftsmanship, technology, sustainability, and cultural identity are beginning to work together.

We summarized this public post-show reflection into 9 slides.

This brief was prepared by 496 Fabric Lab with ChatGPT assistance, based on publicly referenced industry sources including WWD / Sourcing Journal and Première Vision.
It is not a verbatim reproduction or translation of the original articles, but an industry reflection from a textile development perspective.

這次 Denim Première Vision Milan 後，
我們觀察到一個很清楚的訊號：

丹寧不再只是水洗、版型或休閒布料，
而正在成為一種更有智慧的材料文化。

歷史檔案、工藝判斷、科技工具、永續流程與文化身份，
正在被放進同一個開發系統中。

本次展後觀察整理為 9 頁公開分享版。

We will be at Denim Première Vision Milan.

This season, we continue to explore jacquard denim as a medium for texture, structure, material innovation, and storytelling.

From high-density weaving to new material directions, we look forward to sharing our latest developments with designers, brands, and partners in Milan.

At Milano Design Week, materials speak.

Featured in Special Issue,
496 FABRIC LAB presents jacquard textiles as architectural surfaces — where structure, rhythm, and tactility shape spatial emotion.

Natura e creatività vanno in scena —
nature and creativity take the stage through texture.

From regenerative fibers to complex jacquard construction, the project explores how textile can act as both visual language and functional structure.

Textile is no longer background.
It becomes part of the architecture.

在 Milano Design Week 的語境中，
布料不只是材料，而是一種語言。

很榮幸 496 FABRIC LAB 受邀參與 The TSL Gazette 設計專刊，
透過緹花織物探討自然、材質與空間之間的關係。

在 Kitchen Confidences 專題中，
織物紋理與食材共構畫面，使 textile 成為空間敘事的一部分，
也再次提醒我們：材料不只是構成物件，更形塑氛圍。

對 496 FABRIC LAB 而言，
緹花是一種結構語言，連結設計、材料工程與文化敘事。
紡織的創新，不只是性能提升，更是創造新的空間體驗方式。

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Mr. Adriano Goldschmied.

As one of the most influential figures in the history of denim, Adriano helped shape the language, culture, and future of the industry. His vision, creativity, and dedication left a lasting mark on generations of denim makers, designers, and innovators around the world.

At 496 Fabric Lab, we would like to express our deepest gratitude for his lifelong contribution to the denim industry. What he gave to this world went far beyond product or trend — he helped define what denim could become, and inspired so many of us to keep pushing the craft forward.

We are also personally thankful for the encouragement and generosity he showed over the years. Since our founder first met him at Kingpins New York in 2014, his warmth and support remained a meaningful source of inspiration.

His legacy will continue to live on through the people, ideas, and passion he helped cultivate across the global denim community.

Rest in peace, Mr. Adriano Goldschmied.
Thank you for everything you gave to denim.

Project：Democratizing Jacquard

從影像到織物結構。

原本只存在於數位畫面中的瞬間，
現在可以成為布料本身的一部分。
緹花讓影像轉化為結構，
不是印在表面，而是被織進材料之中。

隨著工具持續演進，
高複雜度的布料創作，
開始能被更多設計師、品牌與個人使用。

Democratizing Jacquard.

讓材料，成為記憶的媒介。
