ON THE ANVIL – Recycled felt product line

The Journey of Recycled Felt

Recycled felt starts its life as a collection of unwanted fabrics, sourced from old garments, upholstery, and industrial textile scraps. These materials are cleaned, shredded, and processed to create a new, durable felt fabric. This process not only diverts waste from landfills but also conserves resources by reducing the need for virgin materials.

We at Diya Innovations are thrilled to be working on this material with a focus on combining sustainability with style. Our collection will include everything from work aids to home decor, all crafted with care and with an added flair from our artisans.

The Creative Process

Every great product begins with an idea. Designers draw inspiration from various sources—nature, art, and everyday objects—to conceptualize unique and functional items. The ideas are sketched out and sent to our tailoring unit for the next stage.

Cutting and Shaping:

Once the pattern is finalized, the felt is carefully cut and sewn. When working with brand new products, there are many returns to the drawing board to refine or re-size until we get the right fit

Assembly and Detailing:

After the cut pieces are assembled, they are handed over to our craftspeople who embellish them with handstitching or embroidery for added aesthetic appeal.

Finishing Touches:

The final step involves testing the prototypes for stitch quality, ease of use and ability to withstand frequent use and multiple washings.

While we feel the possibilities with recycled felt are endless, we will soon be launching the first line of sustainable felt products.

By choosing products made from recycled materials, we contribute to a circular economy, reduce our environmental footprint, and inspire others to do the same. So next time you're in the market for a new accessory, or gift, consider the beauty and benefits of recycled felt—where waste is transformed into wonder.
