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."

Sustainable embroidery materials and digital finishing attract attention at GUNOLD booth

More exhibition space, more visitors, and a high level of international participation: GUNOLD’s concept for this year’s Texprocess 2026, which took place in Frankfurt am Main from April 21 to 24, 2026, was a complete success. “Our decision to showcase our entire product range alongside application examples and expert tips was very well received,” says Marketing Director Stephan Gunold, delighted with the positive outcome of the trade show. The focus was particularly on the Stockstadt-based company’s sustainable products as well as its laser, engraving, and sublimation services.

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.
