Xv Production

What Xv Production does

XV Production is a privately held circular textile manufacturer and design studio founded in 2019 and headquartered at Ålandsgatan 10 in Borås, Sweden. The company operates an in-house micro-factory that delivers end-to-end services — creative consulting, pattern making, sampling, and full-scale production — focused on transforming textile waste, deadstock fabrics, overproduction, and end-of-life garments into new sellable products. It also produced what is described as the world's first ready-to-wear capsule collection made entirely in Fine Mycelium (Reishi) for Swedish brand Deadwood, evidencing cross-material craft capability spanning leather offcuts, mycelium, and traditional upcycled textiles.

The portfolio consists of four offerings: Production for Textile Products (tiered B2B manufacturing with no minimum order quantity), Concept Design (creative and technical consulting as an extension of client teams), Remake and Upcycling (the core specialty, including deconstruction of vintage and second-hand garments), and an intensive sewing course (Intensivkurs i Remake) priced at 4,500 SEK and delivered in-person at the Borås studio. Standard lead times after sample approval are approximately two months, and the local factory model is positioned around supply-chain transparency and short transport chains.

XV Production serves a primarily B2B enterprise customer base across fashion brands (Hodakova, Deadwood, Gina Tricot, Djerf Avenue, Filippa K, Toteme, Nudie Jeans, August Barron, Gustaf Westman), home furnishings and furniture companies (Ludvig Svensson, Mariella Studio, Bebo Objects, Artilleriet), and automotive manufacturers (Polestar, Volvo). The company won the Stora Hållbarhetspriset 2025 (Grand Sustainability Award) from the University of Borås and regional Borås partners, and its work has appeared at Copenhagen Fashion Week and in New York via Djerf Avenue's Fifth Avenue Angels show. Leadership contact is Linnéa Magnusdotter; ownership, funding, and revenue figures are not disclosed in available sources.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Tonlé: Zero-waste fashion manufacturer that cuts garments from upcycled textile waste and remnant fabrics. Closely comparable as a small-scale circular apparel producer focused on remake/upcycling at the manufacturing stage.
• Beyond Retro: Vintage and remade fashion brand that upcycles secondhand garments into new retail products. Comparable in the upcycling/reconstruction craft and fashion-brand customer overlap, though retail-led rather than B2B manufacturing-led like XV.
• Mud Jeans: Dutch circular denim brand using post-consumer recycled cotton and lease/return models. Direct peer in circular apparel manufacturing, with overlapping customer profile (sustainability-focused brands and consumers) and shared circular-production thesis.
• The Renewal Workshop: US-based textile renewal and remanufacturing company that takes unsellable apparel and home goods and transforms them into renewed products — the closest direct analog to XV Production's remake/upcycling manufacturing model, serving fashion brands with circular production services.

Broad incumbents

• Eileen Fisher Renew: Take-back and remanufacturing program by US designer Eileen Fisher that resells and remakes gently used garments into new pieces. Comparable as a circular fashion remanufacturer, though embedded within a single brand rather than serving multiple external clients like XV.
• Patagonia (Worn Wear): Patagonia's Worn Wear program repairs, resells, and recycles used Patagonia garments — a circular textile operation with brand-level scale that competes for the same 'circular apparel' mindshare and brand partnerships that XV Production targets.
• Nudie Jeans: Swedish sustainable denim brand that offers free lifetime repair and uses organic/recycled materials. Already an XV Production customer; comparable as a circular Nordic apparel player and overlapping in the Borås/Swedish sustainable fashion ecosystem.
• Stella McCartney: Global luxury fashion brand with a strong sustainability/circularity positioning and ongoing R&D into alternative materials (including mycelium). Overlaps with XV in the luxury circular fashion space and competing for brand-affiliated sustainable production partnerships.

Others

• Closed Loop Fashion: Circular fashion consultancy and platform helping brands operationalize circularity. Adjacent enabler working with the same fashion brand customers on circular transitions, providing a complementary rather than competing service.

Regional players

• Projekt Produkt (Sweden) / Swedish sustainable textile studios: Smaller Nordic/Borås-region sustainable textile studios and circular fashion micro-factories operating in the same Swedish cluster as XV — competing for the same regional brand clients, sustainability awards, and limited pool of circular textile talent.
