Uhana design features striking Coloreel embroidery

Uhana has collaborated with Black Moda to release a new design that showcases Coloreel embroidery. The soft color shading on the tiger embroidery motif was produced by Blur Textile Embellishment in Portugal, using Coloreel's multi-point gradient special effect.

Blur used Coloreel for this color-intensive embroidery project, resulting in a striking design for Uhana. The embroidery was produced using a multi-head embroidery machine, which was paired with Coloreel's multi-head solution to ensure high quality and efficiency.

Uhana, a sustainable Nordic fashion brand, is known for its stunning prints and timeless style.

Black Moda Portugal is a Finnish-owned textile company that specializes in cutting and sewing OEKO-TEX® certified casual tricot clothing.

Blur Embellishment is a leading supplier of embroidery and direct-to-garment printing to high-end fashion and sportswear labels.

"Our technology enables embroidery designs with unprecedented color effects that add depth and dimension to fashion designs," said Elin Wengström, VP Marketing at Coloreel. "We're excited to see how brands like Uhana are incorporating our technology into their creations, making them more sustainable and stylish at the same time."

Delicate by day, glowing by night

Light and color—no other thread combines these two properties as fascinatingly as GUNOLD's GLOWY specialty thread. During the day, it appears in powdery, soft pastel shades, and at night it transforms into a contrasting bright green. Embroidery and decorative seams change their appearance as if by magic as soon as darkness falls.

Europe’s textile future at a turning point: New 2030 Circularity Blueprint aims to scale recycling and unlock investment opportunities

The EU textile system is at a critical crossroads. Today, less than 1% of discarded garments are recycled into new garments, despite EU-wide obligations for separate collection. In response, Global Fashion Agenda (GFA) is launching the 2030 Circularity Blueprint, in partnership with ReHubs. This ambitious initiative is designed to support the transformation of the EU textile ecosystem to advance textile-to-textile recycling and drive the transition to a circular economy.
