Fil Doux Textiles, a Brooklyn-based textile company producing mill-direct, luxurious upholstery, tannery-direct leather, and Otratex—the first-ever degradable vinyl alternative—is thrilled to announce its entrance into the outdoor segment with the debut of a 16-pattern, 19-color textile collection. Kismet in its timing, the new product category aligns with a renewed interest in outdoor leisure and lounge spaces as the hospitality and cruise market reopens and ushers in a new and exciting chapter.
The collection, which is developed and manufactured through the company’s vertically integrated mills, is a cohesive extension of Fil Doux Textiles’ existing product portfolio. The two materials offered, Solution Dyed Acrylic and Solution Dyed Polyester, are known for their superior durability, UV and water resistance and color fastness. These fibers have been perfected to bring the softest touch and exceptional quality that Fil Doux Textiles fabrics are known for to the outdoors.
With this new category, Fil Doux Textiles provides the hospitality and cruise markets with textiles that are equipped to endure the challenges of a variety of environments, from salt-soaked beaches to poolside decks. Timeless patterns like Ribbon Outdoor and fun graphic designs like Hunter Outdoor, are central to the line and give designers the ability to create standout exterior hospitality and cruise spaces. The fabrics have an impressive four- to six-week lead time, further enhancing its appeal.
All of Fil Doux Textiles’ products, including the outdoor line, are produced using sustainable practices, which has resulted in the company achieving status as a prestigious MindClick Leader. Fil Doux Textiles’ mills are fully operable on solar and wind power, dye waters for fabrics are reclaimed and reused, and leftover fabrics are repurposed for packaging. In the spirit of environmental sustainability, Fil Doux Textiles has partnered with 501(c) One Tree Planted with a pledge to donate 1,000 trees to Brazilian Rainforests for every 1,000 yards of Otratex™ purchased.
