Leggings that save the world
With the newly founded label Bombsheller, anyone can become a designer and personalize their own leggings. This is not only pretty cool, but also quite sustainable.
Pablo's Holman is a kind of modern Thomas Edison. The former computer hacker has gone for the better instead of cracking foreign systems: a machine that mitigates hurricanes and a system that reverses global warming are just two of the inventions on his resume. Now the American also makes leggings with his brand Bombsheller .
The highlight of the new label: Instead of buying the colorful printed leggings that already exist in the Bombsheller online shop , you can also become creative yourself and develop your own design. And then even other customers can buy!
Bombsheller simply reverses a technology that has been practiced in the textile industry for decades: instead of mass-producing, the leggings are only made if the customer has actually ordered them. So no garbage is created by articles that could not be sold and are thrown away in the end.
A selection of finished and beautiful sports leggings are available here.
Holman's system works surprisingly fast - within a day the Bombsheller leggings are in the customer's mailbox. How it works? With a lot of technology! In a fully automated factory, an extremely adaptable specialty fabric is printed with the selected pattern and then processed further. The first factory is in the US, the seamstresses earn, according to inventor Pablos Holman, a hundred times more than a textile worker in Bangladesh .
The Bombsheller online shop is still in its infancy, but we would love to see more of such ideas!
