At Bequin, we are designers and material innovators across continents…
…who came together to address a growing problem - the environmental impact of embroidery embellishments in fashion.
Sequins may be small, but their footprint is anything but.
We believe there is a better way.
Our approach is rooted in collaboration and creativity.
From sourcing natural materials locally in India to working closely with embroidery ateliers and luxury fashion houses, we are rethinking the sequin supply chain to make luxury embroidery more responsible.
Our aim is not just to replace petroleum-based sequins, but to reshape the production process into something cleaner, more local, and circular at source.
Bequin is developed and manufactured in India, driven by simple, low-tech innovation.
Our work brings together material science, textile craft, and sustainable design, with growing partnerships in the luxury fashion industry to help bring Bequin to a global audience.
Together, we are creating beautiful, biodegradable sequin alternatives that are better for people and the planet.
