Cellsense is Better, Safer, Faster
A critical issue with traditional embellishments is the use of toxic dyes, metallic coatings, and chemicals for color. Cellsense addresses this by engineering microbial dyes to achieve a vivid color palette and even unique properties such as fluorescence. Our dyeing process consumes 400 times less water than synthetic dyes.
A multitude of vibrant colors achieved using microbial dyes
Beads encapsulating purified GFP emit fluorescence, enhancing design possibilities.
Cellsense’s Embellishments are a 100% plastic free and 0 waste
Scalable & Sustainable
To create a compostable yet durable & scalable embellishment system, we combined algae for its carbon-sequestering properties with cellulose nanocrystal generated from cotton waste. CNC’s crystalline structure and high aspect ratio enhances our materials transparency, color retention, and mechanical strength
We eliminate 6 hours of repetitive manual labor with just 20 minutes of automation.
Automated Production Benefits
Cellsense’s proprietary polymer sets at room temperature, unlike plastics that require high heat. This breakthrough lets us automate production in ways plastic beads can’t. With robotic syringes, we deposit beads directly onto fabric, making production 20 times faster and 70% cheaper than traditional methods.
We match plastics on cost, beat them on lead time for individual beads, and outperform on both cost and speed for complex beaded garments.
That’s what excites brands most: we simplify the supply chain, eliminate sweatshop labor, and create zero waste. Cellsense is a true drop-in solution for the $1.8 Trillion fashion industry hooked on plastic.
