“We are thrilled to showcase our classic 200 Series Fleece with Spoonflower’s design community,” said Karen Beattie, Global Director of Product Marketing at Polartec. “Our mission is to provide premium, innovative fabric solutions, and by partnering with Spoonflower, we are taking a significant step forward in empowering creative entrepreneurs to bring their ideas to life at any scale.”
Polartec’s durable and high-quality fleece – a 100% polyester fabric known for its breathable, quick-drying properties and warmth without weight – is the ultimate choice for cold weather apparel, including jackets, gloves, scarves, and more. The fabric’s soft texture, slight stretch, and resistance to pilling make it an exceptional material for a wide range of creative applications, from cozy blankets to stylish loungewear.
“Often overheard at Spoonflower HQ is the phrase, ‘There’s a design for that!’ This sentiment is the foundation of what makes the Spoonflower platform truly special,” said Sarah Ward, Senior Vice President of Brand Marketing at Spoonflower. “With more than one million designs available, we are excited to match up customers with relevant design results across an immense spectrum of search results. Each design is uploaded by an independent artist somewhere in the world, and all Spoonflower purchases support these amazing creatives. We are thrilled to provide a platform for commerce through community connections be it through the relationships with our artists, the human connection extended through our customer care team, or the suppliers and vendors we partner with, like Polartec, that bring the Spoonflower Design Marketplace to life. Creating a closely knit relationship between the global leader in print-on-demand technology and the leader in modern synthetic fleece is a winning combination with endless possibilities for DTC and B2B alike,” Ward continued.
