Textile and fabric developers in California

A textile developer finds or develops the fabric itself: weight, content, hand feel, colour and testing. Worth it when the fabric is the product, or when your mill's minimums are the problem. The textile and fabric developers below are based in California, so fittings and factory visits can happen in person.

What to ask before you hire

  1. Do you work with stock fabrics, custom development, or both?
  2. Which tests do you run (shrinkage, colourfastness, pilling)?
  3. What minimums do your mills ask for?
  4. Can I see the agreement before we start: what's included, how many rounds, and what costs extra?
Not sure who fits?

Post a brief once: what you're making, your budget and timeline. Consultants who fit reply to you, and Runsheet takes no fee.
