About GAS Textiles
GAS Textiles specialises in creating and repairing high-quality, bespoke textile products for the photography, studio, and film industries. We started in-house as part of GAS Hire, from a frustration with the waste of damaged bags and equipment, and the potential for damage with gear that came insufficiently protected. As word spread about our repairs service and people started seeing the potential for our custom bags and their kit, we outgrew the warehouse and established ourselves independently.
Our ethos has always been to repair and reinforce where possible, with a focus on high-grade materials and durable construction that extends the life of the products we make and the equipment they protect.
We are a small team, that is growing as we work with more rental houses and individuals. The products we repair and create are wide-ranging, from sun shades for iPad minis to 75sqm immersive projection spaces; working with fabrics from silk habotai to ballistic grade nylon. As such, there is room for a diverse range of skills in our team. We currently have people from photography, fashion, and product design backgrounds, all with the same aim – to divert waste from landfill and create well-engineered and enduring products.

It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
