We’re looking for a textile designer who balances brand aesthetics with material expertise.

This role involves designing fabric patterns that reflect our visual identity, while also understanding synthetic and blended yarn structures. You’ll collaborate closely with illustrators and product designers to align visual language, material feel, and collection intent.

You’ll take part in the full process—from pattern and yarn structure design to weaving plans, production coordination, and quality control.

You’ll also explore Southeast Asian craftsmanship and cultural elements, and help translate them into contemporary textile designs.

Key Responsibilities:

Pattern & Collection Design

Design textile patterns and weave structures based on the brand’s visual direction and seasonal themes.

Collaborate with hand-drawing illustrators to translate artwork into weavable or printable textile patterns.

Prepare complete technical documentation for each pattern, including weave drafts, color separations, repeat units, dimensions, and yarn recommendations.

Yarn & Fabric Development (Specializing in Synthetics)

Skilled in fiber blending, synthetic yarn selection, and hand-feel control.

Develop yarn samples by adjusting composition, count, and twist.

Collaborate with spinners to create fancy or textured yarns and understand their impact on weaving and finishing.

Weaving Development & Fabric Finishing

Proficient in woven structure design; adjust warp/weft density to control hand-feel, elasticity, drape, and texture

Develop weaving structures such as dobby, leno, and jacquard based on design needs.

Experienced in reed plan, shrinkage estimation, heat setting, and post-finishing (e.g., calendaring, brushing, washing). Oversee sampling and production timelines; troubleshoot technical issues and optimize fabric performance

Quality Control & Shipment

Inspect fabrics for defects, density accuracy, color consistency, shrinkage, and structural stability.

Define fabric quality standards and acceptance criteria;

document test results.

Support swatch packaging, labeling, and outbound quality checks.

Bonus Points

Self-driven curiosity toward fabric hand feel and cultural textile textures

Interest or hands-on experience with Southeast Asian craft traditions (e.g., batik dyeing, handloom weaving, natural dye techniques), and a willingness to engage in cross-cultural collaboration

On-site sampling experience, ability to communicate in English or local languages, and collaborate directly with regional artisans
