Shoebill REFabric by Hodsoll McKenzie

The Shoebill RE is a double-width fil coupé fabric inspired by one of the world's most extraordinary birds. Standing over a meter tall with a commanding presence, the shoebill strides through southern Sudan's swamps—a majestic creature of which only 6000 remain. This textile captures that regal spirit through a blend of European linen and recycled cotton, woven with the fil coupé technique to create a visually feathery surface. The rustic texture mimics the bird's distinctive plumage, while the artisanal Maltinto dyeing process adds depth and character to every yard. A celebration of nature's grandeur and sustainable craftsmanship in one remarkable fabric.
