Wpc. Patterns Unveils “Quilting Series”: A Sustainable Leap from Umbrella Fabric to Everyday Chic

In a move set to redefine everyday essentials, Wpc. Patterns, a lifestyle brand by World Party Inc., has introduced its innovative “Quilting Series” in February 2026. This collection breathes new life into deadstock fabric originally destined for umbrellas, transforming it into a range of lightweight, water-repellent bags and pouches. It’s a thoughtful approach to sustainability, showcasing how fashion can meet functionality with an eco-conscious heart.

The inspiration for the “Quilting Series” sprang from a simple yet profound question: how could unused umbrella fabric find a new purpose? With its inherent lightness and water-repellent qualities, the material proved ideal for crafting items that seamlessly integrate into daily life. By upcycling these fabrics, Wpc. Patterns actively reduces waste, contributing to a more environmentally friendly manufacturing cycle. This initiative is a testament to the brand’s ingenuity, turning a practical material into delightful and durable accessories.
