Since 1995, Dirk has been working in the textile industry as an agent for top brands in Belgium, the Netherlands, and France. Over the years, he noticed something alarming: tons of unused, high-quality fabrics sleeping in the warehouses of fabric producers, brands, and designers — forgotten materials destined to be destroyed.

That’s where Wasted Fabrics was born: a platform dedicated to European deadstock fabrics, handpicked and offered to those who want to create more sustainably – designers, students, brands, and passionate sewists alike.

With over 30 years of industry experience and a trusted network of fabric hunters, Dirk and his team bring you some of the finest forgotten textiles in Europe. And yes — we ship worldwide! If your country isn’t on our list, just reach out and we’ll make it work.
