Friedmans Launches OmbreMe ─ A New Online Tool for Custom Ombré Fabric Design
Altrincham – Cheshire – July 2026 – Friedmans, a leader in digital textile printing, has announced the launch of OmbreMe, an innovative online tool that enables designers and makers to create bespoke ombré fabrics with ease.
The platform combines intuitive design controls with Friedmans' established printing expertise, offering a seamless path from concept to production.
OmbreMe gives users full creative control over their fabric designs.
Through a straightforward interface, users can select custom colour combinations, control the direction of their gradient — vertical or horizontal — and fine-tune the transition between shades, choosing anything from soft, gradual fades to sharper, more defined colour shifts.
The tool also introduces a standout feature for garment makers: the ability to design custom circle skirt panels with seamless ombré gradients.
Users can additionally adjust the scale of their gradient to ensure the final print aligns precisely with their design vision.
By removing the technical barriers traditionally associated with custom fabric printing, OmbreMe opens the door for independent designers, small studios, and established fashion houses alike to access high-quality, made-to-order ombré textiles.
The platform reflects Friedmans' ongoing commitment to making professional-grade textile production more accessible, without compromising on quality or precision.
OmbreMe is available now via the Friedmans website.
Designs created through the platform are ready for production upon submission, streamlining the journey from digital design to physical fabric.
At Friedmans, we’re committed to giving designers, manufacturers and brands the tools they need to create truly unique fabrics. That’s why we’re excited to introduce OmbreMe - our latest online design tool that allows you to create bespoke ombré and gradient fabrics with complete creative control.
Whether you’re designing dancewear, gymnastics leotards, figure skating costumes, activewear or fashion garments, OmbreMe makes it simple to create stunning gradient effects that are ready for digital printing.
