Company Description
Modus91 is a new UK apparel brand built on engineered, traceable materials. We engineer fabric from reclaimed pre-consumer cotton scraps, processed through a patent-pending softness technology. We treat the typical rough feel of recycled apparel as an engineering challenge, creating textiles that are both certified and comfortable. With GRS certification via Intertek, we maintain a fully traceable, end-to-end supply chain from fibre reclamation to finished product. We work with brands, enterprise clients, and individual consumers who seek certified, traceable materials without compromising aesthetics or performance.
Role Description
This is a fixed-term freelance contract (July–October 2026, approx. 6 hours per week) supporting our launch collection, with potential to continue post-launch. You'll work directly with the UK lead and our manufacturing team to develop apparel designs that showcase Modus91's engineered recycled textiles, helping refine our launch range from concept to production-ready. This includes:
