How One Fabric Company Is Working To Extend The Life Of Your Clothes
Nothing is worse than spilling coffee or red wine all over a brand new shirt, but what if you could wash that stain right out with a little water? Dropel Fabrics is making that a reality. Co-Founder Simardev Gulati shows us how.
Gulati gives our hosts a demonstration of the company's fabrics. Dropel Fabrics uses a special treatment to give natural fibers the same spill- and stain-proof characteristics as polyester.
Gulati says they have teams in countries from Portugal to China working keep up with global trends in fashion and retail. A shirt from Dropel Fabrics starts around $40.
