Inclusive, Unique, and Sustainable Textile Craftsmanship
Fody Fabrics was founded in 2020 as a pilot project with a simple powerful idea: transforming high-quality textile deadstock into handmade products crafted by individuals with intellectual disabilities or those facing social disadvantages. Here, they find a supportive, educational environment to unlock and express their skills.
An initiative that seamlessly generates social, environmental, and economic value, Fody officially became an innovative social benefit corporation in 2022.
Its artisanal workshops are places where every piece is one-of-a-kind, and every purchase supports a tangible cause.
The Fody Blueprint
Fody products are made entirely by hand by its artisans using leftover high-quality fabrics.
Every item is unique, shaped by the distinct characteristics of the materials and the individuality of the hands that make them.
Their 2030 goals: donate 1 million life-saving blankets, employ over 1,000 people with disabilities, and recycle over 1,000 tons of textile scraps.

The Partnership
Our partnership blossomed during TEDxCervia 2026, the Treasure edition, where we took part as Visionary Partners.
Our idea was to leave attendees with a memento of the event, and we chose Fody because we wanted an item that held value and told a story: how beautiful things can emerge from the unexpected, thanks to people and their dedication.
Choosing the pouches designed by the Fody team was ideal. They beautifully represented the theme of this edition and the core values that Technacy embodies every day. They are beautiful objects with a soul.
We look forward to involving Fody in other future projects as well!

THE OUTCOME
TEDxCervia - May 2026
As a TEDx Visionary Partner, Technacy wants to contribute to the event focused on the theme of Treasure understood as the core value that guides us whether it be a dream, a passion, or a discovery.
It is the perfect theme to showcase and highlight Fody.
Giving a gift with True Meaning
We commissioned Fody Fabrics to create the pouches for the event attendees, unique items handcrafted from high-quality textile deadstock by the skilled hands of artisans with intellectual disabilities or from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Every pouch has allowed us to support Fody’s mission and raise awareness of their work.
A Pouch That Tells a Story
Every participant took home one of these pouches as a memento of the experience, an item that is both beautiful and deeply meaningful.
Each pouch features a QR code linking to a dedicated landing page, where we share Fody’s story and the vision that inspired us to choose them. Check it out here!
