In 2023, with 3 years of experience of sustainable textiles under my belt, I started working on organic socks that uses the least amount of resources and yet are comfortable. The goal was to develop socks with the lowest carbon footprint and maximum durability. 

At this time, I had already worked with sustainable materials for over 2 years but I wanted to also explore system changes within fashion. It was clear to me that there was no business model to follow and that I’d have to create a road map of my own. And so after much trial and error, Texcyle was born.

I believe small manufacturing businesses like mine that are challenging norms while innovating on shoestring budgets, can prove what is possible so that hopefully, big businesses will be forced to act under consumer pressure.  

Texcyle is a credit to so many people’s efforts and I’m incredibly grateful for every skilled worker in our supply chain across Europe, India and China. The fact that Texcyle is born from two words textile and cycle to showcase how we have challenged ourselves to reinvent the entire textile supply chain. While our mission as a business is doing more with less, we also want to equip people with knowledge to make informed decisions to scale back, slow down and retain value in their clothing.
