you-felt:
your own felt
Have your old company textiles recycled into felt
At i-did, we give discarded textiles a second life. With you-felt, we transform your company's old workwear or other residual textiles into sustainable, high-quality felt. The felt is available on a roll, ready for various applications, or we create unique products tailored to your organization.
Products you can reuse as promotional gifts, your own collection, or office furnishings. This way, your old textiles, in the form of products, return to the organization, completing the sustainable, social, and circular supply chain.

Solution for textile waste
you-felt is a customized process where your textiles form the foundation. Whether you choose acoustic solutions , bags , or a custom product, the story begins with your own material.
Would you also like to join the list of organizations that reuse their corporate textiles in a sustainable way?
How does it work?
1. Intake and test phase
We start with a test per color to determine whether your textile is suitable for fiberizing and felting. You will receive:
- Bags with fiberized textile samples
- A4 felt sample
- A concise report with the test results
The felt is not dyed. The color of the textile determines the color.
2. Composition & design of the felt
Together we'll determine how your felt will look. Based on the test results, we'll agree on:
- What type of textile is used
- The required volumes
- The desired appearance in terms of color, structure and application
This way we ensure that the end result perfectly matches your wishes.
3. Initiation of the procedure
When the test is positive, we start the production process:
- We start by aligning your product requirements
- We agree on the required quantity of textile
- We supply the big bags in advance to collect and deliver the textiles
We plan the delivery date on which the textile should be in The Hague.
4. Production of felt & finished products
Once we have received your textiles:
- Let's start making your own felt: you-felt
- Afterwards, our participants in the social workshop will start producing the desired end products

Collaboration in the spotlight: KLM
In 2015, KLM was the first to repurpose its old workwear at i-did! We took the textile and transformed it into felt: KLM Sky Blue was born.
For the company's 100th anniversary, KLM commissioned i-did to produce various lifestyle products. Their own felt was recently used in the renovated interior of building 411 at Schiphol, thanks to a collaboration with ATELIERS Interior & Architecture.
