Sun Tekstil x Refabric
Sun Tekstil has entered into a strategic partnership with U.S.-based software company Refabric (Mintgrams Technologies Inc.), investing in its AI-powered design platform to accelerate digital transformation in the fashion industry.
Refabric is an advanced AI-driven platform that streamlines the entire fashion design and development process—from inspiration, research, and trend analysis to design, prototyping, product development, and marketing. By integrating these traditionally time-consuming and complex steps into a single ecosystem, Refabric aims to enhance efficiency for fashion professionals.
Having collaborated with Refabric for years, Sun Tekstil has now solidified the partnership through direct investment, reinforcing its commitment to innovation and technology-driven efficiency in fashion. This collaboration will accelerate product development and optimize operational processes, reducing costs and improving market responsiveness.
Refabric’s AI-powered tools are set to transform the design process, significantly cutting down the need for physical samples and enabling brands to filter out unpopular designs before production, reducing waste of time and resources. The platform can generate designs in minutes, helping brands develop trend-aligned collections more efficiently.
