In the fashion industry, deadstock fabric refers to leftover or surplus textiles that were produced, but not used in garment production. Deadstocks are created not because there is a fabric defect in any way, but simply because mass-brands either change their mind about their design strategy after order placement, or simply don't find the fabric trend-relevant anymore. These fully viable, beautiful fabrics would eventually be discarded by the Mills, making their way into landfill.
