After searching for the perfect materials, Puebco discovered a town in India where a small specialty shop was stocked with a variety of fabrics, including dead stock and used industrial belts which served as their inspiration. Not only is the rip stop fabric uniquely lightweight and strong, but it also features a lattice pattern to prevent tearing, while the non-slip plain weave provides added functionality. Their meticulous search led them to find exactly what they were looking for, making this material a valuable and essential part of this product.
