Upcycled Fabric Swatches

SUNPAN’s showroom sees hundreds of fabrics pass through its doors, swatches that help customers imagine their dream sofa or chair. Eventually, some of those fabrics get discontinued, leaving behind stacks of small, high-quality samples.

Upholstery fabrics are designed to last years in busy living rooms so they're more than tough enough to handle everyday wear as a bag. We were so excited when the team reached out to us. We played around with the colours, textures and patterns, piecing them into durable, functional fanny packs. No two were the same.

This project fit perfectly with SUNPAN’s sustainability commitment. They already design with longevity in mind, source materials responsibly, and look for ways to keep items out of landfills. By donating their unused swatches, they not only reduced waste but gave us the chance to create something new and functional.
