UPDATE

Most recently Chameleon and SZBlind visited IDM Nähwerk in Thun to thank all the students who made the first 200 bags. We got to raise emotional awareness on the issues that the blind community face today.

Our Partners

Densely woven cotton fabrics, originally developed in England in the 1930s, were first used for fire hoses and water buckets due to their durability and water resistance. During World War II, these fabrics—most notably Ventile—became vital for British Hurricane pilots, as immersion suits made from them provided thermal insulation and water protection. After the war, their use expanded to military and civilian outerwear, and was worn by Sir Edmund Hilary during his first summit climb. 

As the British textile industry declined, the Ministry of Defence sought higher quality, turning to Stotz, a company with extensive experience in producing such fabrics for Scandinavian and American militaries. Within six months, Stotz supplied the British MoD with superior versions of their traditional fabrics. Today, Stotz remains the sole manufacturer of these high-performance cotton textiles, which continue to be valued for their protective qualities and comfort.

Production started in March of 2025 after 2 years of careful pattern and material analysis. Implemented into their curriculum, apprentices spent the month fabricating Chameleon.  

The aspiring clothing designers and seamstresses are supported by 15 trainers who have experience working at companies including Vivienne Westwood, Hugo Boss, Givenchy, Alexander Wang, and Odlo. Their many years of international textile experience served as a precise foundation of expertise for the production of Chameleon.
