About Us. Fabdesigns, has been in business since 1988. Originally it was known as Stoll Patterns and Designs, catering to the design and engineering of flat knit fabrics and fully fashioned garments on Stoll brand knitting machinery around the world. We created where others said it couldn't be done, or couldn't be botherd to try. We thrive on the difficult challenges. We believed, as we do today, in pushing creative boundaries to fulfill a client’s business goals and over satisfying the end consumer’s needs, to get to that in-store emotional connection where that ‘need’ becomes a ‘want’. ‘Wants’ in our experience, drive sales and repeat business. In short, we believe in the details. Blending design aesthetics with cutting edge technology, performance yarns, and creating hybrids of Euro-American inspired sophistication combined with state of the art knitting techniques and premium quality materials is what we have always done.
Engineering knit fabrics in-house was a frequent service for Los Angeles mills who had circular Bentley, Mecmore, Jumberca, Monarch, stripers, Vanguard, Terrot, and many other types of circular machines. The engineers also created styles for with Steiger, and Bentley fully fashion frames. We created knitwear in-house for some of the most prominent labels in the US, Europe, Canada, Australia and more. We have extensive hands-on marketing, production and operations experience. Our company was originally located in the Olympic & Robertson area of West Los Angeles and Beverly Hills, designing knitwear for some of the most notable labels on 5 continents in the International fashion industry. Our collaborative synthesis of art, chemistry, innovation, and color created a knitted sensory experience for our clients and their end consumers. The company moved to the East Coast from 1994 through 1998, returning to Southern California as Fabdesigns, Inc. The original Fabdesigns design studio was located near the Van Nuys Airport and evolved into a multi-faceted studio which produced couture knitwear and served film studios, celebrities and other high profile projects by appointment. In 2003 Fabdesigns, Inc. moved to a bright space in a Tudor building on Ventura Boulevard in Encino to market Concetta Bruce, a California inspired fiber art knitwear line, manufactured in house with limited and exclusive production which was sold to discriminating boutiques across the country. Classes for Cal State Long Beach on knits for business professionals were also taught in our Ventura Boulevard studio.
In 2003 we sourced many new yarns from France, italy and Spain. New cuts and colors were implemented and abundant creativity was infused to bring art-to-wear to the upper end specialty market. We sold exclusively to better specialty boutiques, galleries across the USA and in internationally known resort locations. In 2006 we added additional Stoll Electronic CMS equipment, new finishing and trim machinery. Needing much more space, Fabdesigns, Inc. moved to it's present location in North Hollywood. In September 2008 we ceased manufacturing our art-to-wear and returned back to its' roots, creating sophisticated textile jacquards and knit wear designs for some of the hottest names in apparel, industrial textiles, and home furnishings. We have a huge swatch library spanning 25 years of development. Our customers and their success are always our number one focus. And, like any freelance organizations, our company is only as good as the sum of its parts, so it is no surprise that we are a strong team with multi-disciplinary mix of design, marketing and engineering talent. My innovative product development background spans both apparel and consumer products. Our extraordinary engineer is my partner, a 20 year veteran expert in knitting technology, production, materials and development. We’re personable, and are extremely able, dedicated to creating very attractive products, and handling an enormous amount of work in very a short period of time.
