Wash development · Manufacturing · Impact
Studio AT-9 Indigo is a denim innovation hub — where we share our expertise with our suppliers to create a unique impact through digital wash development, sustainable finishes, fabric-to-finish product solutions, and manufacturing & sourcing assistance.
We start at the fabric and stop at the finished pair. Everything between is a decision about water, energy and time — so we write it down and measure it.
Selected partners — LOTUS GROUP (LOTUSTEX), ATLAS DENIM, MELBOURNE TEXTILE, LOTUS-FRESHTEX, DO TEX, KB DENIM, SB TEXTILE, JEANS 2000
Company profile
A wash house that thinks like an engineering practice.
We are a consultancy, not a supplier. We develop the wash, set up the laundry, train the team and report the impact — one style, one measured sheet, fabric to finish.
