DenimNotes/For Designers
For Fashion Designers & Product Developers

Your next collection starts
on the show floor.
Stop losing it there.

You walk 40 booths in two days and leave with 200 hang tags, a WhatsApp folder full of photos, and notes from three different notebooks. DenimNotes is the moodboard you build as you walk — and the supply chain thread that connects every fabric to your next range.

The designer's workflow

From booth scan
to shortlist to range

Three steps that replace a week of post-show admin.

01
Scan at the booth. Add your eye.
Point your phone at the hang tag. DenimNotes reads article number, composition, weight, and width via OCR — and lets you add your own notes in the same moment: hand feel, color observations, drape quality, the mill contact's name. One record per fabric, capturing both spec and instinct.
↳ Hang tag OCR · Voice notes · Photo capture · Instant log
02
Build boards. Edit your shortlist.
Fabrics land in your current show board as you scan. Back in your hotel room — or between booths — you edit: shortlist the ones that excite you, tag by range or colorway, compare two similar fabrics side by side. By the end of the show, you have a curated, organized moodboard — not a pile of hang tags and a scroll of blurry photos.
↳ Seasonal boards · Shortlisting · Range & colorway tags · Side-by-side compare
03
Nominate to your maker. In one click.
When a fabric makes the shortlist and you want to develop a style, nominate it from your moodboard to your garment maker in DenimNotes. They receive a structured brief — everything the factory needs to start development. The fabric record and the development request are connected. No email chain. No information lost in translation.
↳ One-click nomination · Structured brief · Factory pipeline connected
What replaces four different tools

What designers get
from DenimNotes

🏷️
Hang tag OCR
Scan any fabric hang tag and extract article number, composition, weight, and width automatically. Works on printed and handwritten tags. No re-typing composition strings at 11pm in your hotel room.
🎨
Visual moodboards by season
Organize fabrics into boards — one per season, collection, trend direction, or fabric category. Sort by hand feel, supplier, color family, or composition. See your range plan taking shape before you leave the show.
🎙️
Voice notes on the floor
"Beautifully soft for summer. Would work in both the relaxed shirt and the wide-leg trouser. Check MOQ — need to confirm with Luca." 15 seconds, captured. No pad, no pen, no forgotten instinct.
🔗
Connected to your supply chain
The same fabric record connects to the mill (who uploaded it), your garment maker (who receives the dev brief), and your buyer (who sees the shortlist). You stay at the centre. The admin disappears.
📄
PDF range plan export
Export your moodboard as a clean PDF range plan — fabric images, specs, your notes — in one click. Share with buyers, directors, or manufacturers without reformatting anything in PowerPoint.
🧠
AI recall — "what was that fabric?"
"The one from the Italian mill with the slub texture, high GSM, felt like linen but wasn't." DenimNotes surfaces it from your show notes in seconds. No more scrolling through 200 WhatsApp photos trying to find the one that felt different.
Common questions from designers

What designers actually ask

Do I need to be at a trade show to use DenimNotes?
No — though the trade show is where DenimNotes makes the biggest immediate difference. Between shows, designers use it to maintain their fabric library, track samples in transit or under development, organize inspiration for the next season, and manage the status of fabrics in the development pipeline with their makers.
Does DenimNotes work for non-denim fabrics?
Yes, entirely. "Denim" in the name reflects where we started — the denim and sportswear show circuit. The app works for any fabric category: wovens, knits, technical fabrics, sustainable materials, deadstock. The hang tag OCR, moodboard, and supply chain connection tools are category-agnostic.
How is it different from just using Pinterest or Google Photos?
Pinterest and Google Photos are great for visual inspiration, but they have no connection to the supply chain. A fabric photo in your camera roll can't tell you the composition, who the mill rep is, what the MOQ is, or how to nominate it to your manufacturer. DenimNotes captures the visual and the supply chain context in one record — and that second half is what saves the hours.
Can I share my moodboard with my design director or buying team?
Yes. You can export your board as a PDF range plan to share externally, or invite team members into DenimNotes to collaborate on the same board directly. Team members can add their own notes to fabrics, vote on shortlisted options, or view the live board as it evolves during the show.
What shows does DenimNotes work at?
DenimNotes works at any trade show — Kingpins, Première Vision, Munich Fabric Start, Texworld, ISPO, Magic, Sourcing at Magic, and direct mill visits. It's a phone app — wherever you can scan a hang tag or take notes, DenimNotes works. No show partnership required.
