Gainsborough and AO Textiles collaborate on natural dyeing solutions

Gainsborough and AO Textiles team up to provide a special service that combines color consultancy for natural dyes with the production of custom jacquard woven textiles.

Together, they have created strategies for preserving tradition while using cutting-edge manufacturing processes, including the utilization of natural plant-based dyes in the manufacturing of modern textiles.

Everything is produced internally by the companies, from dying the yarn to weaving the fabric. The partnership has proven that color derived from environmentally friendly botanicals, such as madder, weld, and chestnut, can contribute to circular 21st-century textile production, moving away from the synthetic, petroleum-based colors commonly used in textile production today.

The fabrics are made using naturally occurring color that is reproducible, scalable, and of the caliber required by the industry.
