Most sequins and embellishments used in luxury fashion today are made from petroleum-based plastics. Their tiny size and method of application make them nearly impossible to recycle.

At Bequin, we are passionate about creating a better alternative, one that is bio-based, biodegradable, and made with care.

As designers ourselves, we know that creativity should not have to compromise and have a lower impact on the planet.

  • Environmental

    Bequin is made using ocean-abundant and textile waste-derived materials, creating compostable and circular alternatives for the fashion industry.  By keeping our production local to our suppliers and to our customers' manufacturers, we are aiming to reducing carbon emissions. 

  • Powered by People and Purpose

    Bequin is aiming to be built with community at its core, partnering with semi-rural communities to develop low-tech, scalable processes and production methods. 

    From involving young creative scientists passionate about future materials and engaging with design students through hands-on learning, we are committed to building an inclusive ecosystem for sustainable luxury fashion and biomaterials.

  • Towards Global Standards

    Certifications and standards are underway to validate our materials and methods for global market readiness and investor confidence.
