Woven With Intention: A Deeper Look at Sustainability
Blog • April 21, 2025
Discover how sustainability is more than a practice at Pallas Textiles—it’s part of our design philosophy. It informs every fiber we select, every partnership we nurture, and every textile we thoughtfully craft.
At Pallas Textiles, sustainability has been woven into our brand from the beginning. It’s a continuous commitment—an ethos that shapes every fiber, finish, and decision we make.
For more than three decades, we have been dedicated to thoughtful and intentional design, crafting textiles that inspire while making a meaningful difference. Our textiles are beautiful, high-performing, and intentionally crafted with the future in mind.
In this blog, we invite you to explore the materials, technologies, and partnerships that shape our approach to sustainable textile design.
Every Fiber Matters
From post-consumer recycled polyesters to renewed natural fibers, we thoughtfully source with intention—reducing waste and lessening environmental impact, all while honoring the integrity of design and enduring performance. You’ll see this philosophy woven into textiles like Stippling and Merge, made from upcycled cotton t-shirts, or Prose, Magique, Pinch Pleat, and Nomad, which feature REPREVE® yarns derived from recycled plastic bottles.
These fibers support circular design and bring a natural, textural beauty to our collections—making sustainability feel as good as it looks.
Innovation That Transforms Waste into Wonder
At the intersection of form and function, our use of innovative yarns brings purpose to performance—crafted with intention, designed to endure. SEAQUAL® YARN, made from Upcycled Marine Plastic, appears in standout patterns like Kai, Ahti, Hali, Isla, Maren, and Llyr—each part of the In Good Company collection, which reflects a full-circle approach to sustainability.
Enhanced with high-performance finishes and guided by a commitment to longevity, these textiles are thoughtfully crafted to endure—reducing environmental impact by extending the life of each design.
Not only does this collection reclaim plastic from the ocean, it also extends its impact beyond the product itself by supporting the SEAQUAL® Initiative and ocean cleanup efforts through a portion of its proceeds.
Collaboration at Every Level
Sustainability is a thread that connects every facet of our work—from purposeful materials to the meaningful partnerships that bring our vision to life. Through our collaboration with Material Bank, we’ve contributed to a greater cause that prevented nearly 5 million sample packages from entering the waste stream, all while maintaining 100% carbon-neutral shipping since 2020.
This alignment of values allows designers to make eco-conscious decisions, right down to how samples are ordered and received.
Tools to Support Sustainable Specification
When browsing our textile offerings, our sustainability filters make it easier than ever to find materials that meet your environmental standards. Whether you're seeking recycled content, Red List compliance, or specific certifications, our filtering tools help streamline the process—so your projects are beautiful, functional, and future-ready.
A Legacy of Intentional Design
Since 1989, Pallas has been dedicated to crafting textiles that are not only timeless in style but also responsible in origin. Our commitment to sustainability is not a fleeting trend—it’s the foundation of everything we do. It’s reflected in the materials we select, the partnerships we nurture, and the tools we provide to empower the design community to make informed, impactful choices.
Because when every pattern is woven with care, the result is more than beautiful design. It’s a textile of responsibility. A future crafted with purpose.
