FabPatch Expands in Europe
A textile repair innovation developed in Finland has taken its next step in international growth as FabPatch Ltd, known for its Vaatelaastari products, and Prym Consumer Europe GmbH launched a joint Prym x FabPatch collection. The collaboration was unveiled at the H+H fair in Cologne on March 20, 2026.
FabPatch’s design-driven repair solution has combined with Prym’s extensive international distribution network, enabling the products to reach European consumers at a new scale. The aim of the collaboration is to make textile repair easier and more appealing in everyday life.
“When an innovative startup meets an internationally established market leader, and a modern repair solution meets the ‘Mend it, don’t end it’ philosophy, there could hardly be a better match than FabPatch and Prym. FabPatch is not only innovative, it is a fashion statement that reinterprets repairing in a modern way and is entirely in line with our philosophy. We are therefore delighted to have jointly created the Prym x FabPatch product range and to use our distribution power to make this fresh idea accessible to retail customers and consumers across Europe,” says Sabine Drosdz-Casier, Business Unit Head Prym Consumer Europe.
FabPatch represents a new type of high-value Finnish consumer product—designed and manufactured in Finland with a strong emphasis on quality, usability, and sustainability. The collaboration strengthens the company’s international growth and expands its distribution in Europe.
“This collaboration with Prym is a major step in scaling our Finnish repair innovation internationally. With their distribution strength, we can now move from building a strong concept to delivering it at scale across Europe—at a pace we could not have achieved alone.
From the very beginning, it was clear we share a strong value base, which makes this partnership both natural and ambitious. Together, we are making modern repair solutions more accessible and relevant for today’s consumers,” states Taija Sailio, CEO of FabPatch Ltd.
The collaboration responds to a growing need in the textile industry to extend product lifecycles and support more sustainable consumption. The Prym x FabPatch collection was introduced to European markets at the H+H fair in Cologne 20.-22.3.
