Garment dyeing

Unique colour depth and a distinctive look – the garment dyeing process gives clothing its unmistakable character. But dyeing places high demands on the seams: they must be colourfast, durable, and perfectly aligned with the final result. Our specially developed sewing threads are ideal for post-dyeing – they absorb colour evenly, maintain their strength, and ensure a smooth, high-quality finish. The result: garments with rich, even colouring, long-lasting seams, and an authentic, premium appearance.
