about us

We built Refabric because we had seen both sides of fashion

One of us spent ten years at the helm of Vogue, in the front row of the world's most iconic shows, working with the designers, photographers, and editors who define how the world dresses.One of us spent years inside the supply chain, sourcing fabric, managing manufacturers, watching collections move from sketch to shipment across factories in three continents.One of us built the data systems that helped one of the world's largest e-commerce platforms understand what people want to buy, before they know it themselves.Together, we saw both the brilliance and the inefficiency — fashion is one of the most creative industries on earth, running on a production system that hasn't fundamentally changed in decades: slow, fragmented, and far more costly than it needs to be.We started Refabric in 2023 to change that.

What we built

Refabric is an end-to-end AI platform for fashion brands and their manufacturers. We combine real-time fashion data with a brand's own archives to help designers create smarter, on-brand styles, all digitally, with no physical samples needed. Approved designs convert automatically into factory-ready tech packs. And our AI photoshoot tools turn any product into professional, marketplace-ready imagery in minutes.The result is a connected workflow from trend research to final product photography:
80%+fewer physical samples
63%lower content production costs
14%increase in deadstock sell-through

Why we are different

Most tools in fashion technology solve one part of the problem. Refabric connects the entire workflow in a single platform, trained specifically on fashion over three years. Our proprietary Fashion Taxonomy covers fabrics, patterns, trims, silhouettes, construction details, color, and texture in a depth no general-purpose AI can replicate. And because our Data Flywheel learns from every client interaction, the platform gets smarter with every collection it helps create.We are not a general AI tool applied to fashion. We are a fashion intelligence platform, built from the ground up by people who know this industry from both sides.

What the industry says

Refabric has been recognized by some of the most respected names in fashion and technology.We are the only startup invited back to LVMH's La Maison des Startups for a second consecutive year.
