unspun is a fashion tech company that has developed Vega, the world's first 3D weaving technology for apparel manufacturing. The technology efficiently transforms thousands of yarns into garments in minutes, enabling almost zero-waste, on-demand manufacturing. The Vega system drastically shortens supply chains and lead times, allowing traditional cut-make-trim facilities to vertically integrate operations. The process is four times faster than conventional methods, achieving a 53% emissions reduction, 49% reduced energy demand, and 39% reduced blue water consumption. The technology generates less than 3% cut waste compared to the industry average of 15%. The Vega machines can create woven garments using almost any yarn, with the current generation focused on producing bottoms, bags, and hats. Future generations of the machines will expand into performance categories, outerwear, shoes, tops, and dresses. The company is also developing circular supply chain applications that will allow garments to be unspun back into yarns and re-woven into new products.
Through its microfactory model, unspun aims to eliminate the need for large order quantities while decreasing transportation emissions and lead times. The company operates a microfactory in Oakland, California, where it has demonstrated the commercial viability of its technology through low-volume production with proven third-party lifecycle assessments
Key customers and partnerships
unspun has secured multi-year agreements with Walmart to deploy its Vega machines for localized production in both North America and Europe. The company partnered with fashion label Eckhaus Latta to introduce the first-ever 3D woven collection at New York Fashion Week, with products now available online and in stores globally. In October 2024, unspun formed a strategic partnership with DECATHLON Pulse, the investment arm of global sports brand DECATHLON, to deploy its 3D weaving technology across Europe through 2030.

Stitch Fix operates as an online personal styling service that combines data science and human expertise to provide personalized clothing recommendations. The company's platform uses algorithms and machine learning to analyze customer preferences through an initial style quiz that captures data on size, fit, and style preferences. Based on this data, Stitch Fix sends customers a curated box of five clothing items and accessories selected from thousands of partner brands, with prices typically ranging from USD 28 to USD 500 for adult items. The company employs a hybrid model where algorithms generate initial recommendations, which are then refined by human stylists before items are shipped to customers. Each delivery incurs a USD 20 styling fee that is credited toward any purchases, and customers receive a 25% discount if they keep all items in their box.
The company's technology infrastructure includes three main components: Foundry for corporate clients, Gotham for government and intelligence customers, and Apollo, their cloud-based scalable platform. As of January 2024, Stitch Fix's revenue has faced challenges, with Q1 net revenues declining 17.8% year over year to USD 364.8 million.
