FROM LAB TO LIFE

RDD is a textile innovation company based in Portugal, rethinking how materials are imagined, made, and valued. We bring together science, design, and technology to create fabrics that perform beautifully while respecting the planet — and the people behind every process.
Our work moves between research and reality, transforming bold ideas into tangible solutions that help shape a more responsible textile industry.

REDEFINING THE FUTURE OF TEXTILES

PURPOSE

We aim to reshape the way textiles are made and perceived — designing materials that unite innovation, performance, and sustainability in every thread.
We exist to prove that responsibility and creativity can coexist — and together, drive meaningful change.
VISION

At RDD Textiles, every fabric begins with research and a clear purpose: to explore better ways of making and designing textiles.From regenerative fibers to biotechnology-driven dyeing, our developments bring together science, creativity, and precision to expand what’s possible in responsible material innovation.
MISSION

From our research lab and facilities in Portugal, we develop bio-based, regenerative, and recycled materials, as well as pioneering dyeing technologies that lower environmental impact without compromising performance or aesthetics. Each RDD development is built for the real world — transparent, scalable, and made to serve the future of fashion.
VALUE

Everything at RDD begins with curiosity — the impulse to question, to experiment, and to see potential where others see limits. Curiosity leads naturally to collaboration, because discovery is never a solitary act; it happens when ideas cross paths and perspectives collide. Through collaboration, we nurture a sense of responsibility — to our partners, our communities, and the planet that makes our work possible. That sense of care brings precision, not as perfectionism, but as intention — the quiet discipline that makes innovation tangible and true. And at the heart of it all is creativity — the spark that turns science into feeling, research into beauty, and fabrics into stories that live and breathe.
Because at RDD, innovation isn’t just what we do.
It’s the way we think, feel, and create.

TECH + MATERIALS

At RDD Textiles, every fabric begins with research and a clear purpose: to explore better ways of making and designing textiles. From regenerative fibers to biotechnology-driven dyeing, our developments bring together science, creativity, and precision to expand what’s possible in responsible material innovation.
NEXT-GEN FIBERS

We work with regenerative, recycled, and bio-based fibers chosen for their technical performance, durability, and origin transparency. Each one represents a step toward rethinking how textiles are sourced and produced.

CERTIFIED BY STANDARDS,
DRIVEN BY PURPOSE

Our certifications reflect our commitment to transparency, responsibility, and measurable progress — ensuring every RDD fabric meets the highest environmental and social standards.

TECHNICAL CONSULTANCY

At RDD, collaboration is where innovation takes shape.

We work side by side with our partners — from independent labels to global brands — to develop, test, and scale new materials and processes that meet real-world performance and sustainability goals.

Our consultancy combines scientific research, textile engineering, and product design to support every step of material creation: from fiber and yarn development to fabric structure design, color and dye optimization, finishing innovation, and performance validation.

Whether creating a proof of concept, developing a capsule collection, or refining an existing fabric for production, our multidisciplinary team ensures that every idea moves seamlessly from concept to commercialization.

At RDD, we don’t just support development — we co-create the future of textiles.
