Stella McCartney transformed Kelsun™ fiber into a beautifully hand-crocheted ecru knit featured in two garments in Stella’s Summer 2024 show. Celebrating fluidity and circularity at #ParisFashionWeek, Stella debuted the first-ever garments created from Kelsun, our seaweed-derived fiber designed to transform the #textile industry. In addition to the runway show, Marché Saxe-Breteuil in Paris was transformed into Stella’s Sustainable Market – comprising 21 stalls, inviting guests and the public to experience the pioneering innovators and materials featured in Stella’s latest collection.

Our mission is to harness the radical potential of our oceans to transform the textile industry and the world.
About us
Keel Labs™ began in 2017 as AlgiKnit, creating ocean-focused materials built from renewable resources. In 2022, Keel Labs was established as a platform for innovation, broadening our vision for the potential of the ocean to accelerate our planet’s development towards a more sustainable future. Driven by the exploration of novel resources from the ocean, Keel Labs™ functions as a hub for the next generation of climate-focused solutions derived from nature. So, though our name has changed, our mission remains the same: Keel Labs™ works at the nexus of design, science, and engineering to create impact-driven materials harnessing the power of the ocean.

We're certified! 🍃 At Keel Labs, we are constantly working to improve Kelsun™ through testing and development, ensuring that its quality remains high and its impact low. We are pleased to announce that Kelsun™ fiber has just received the Hohenstein Quality Label for Environmental Impact, and is now a USDA Certified Biobased Product! Containing 100% USDA certified biobased content, Kelsun™ is free of petrochemicals and made with renewable ingredients. This leads to a pathway where Kelsun™ easily biodegrades at its end of life, the way all materials should.
