Last summer, Annie Cyr CEO of Tengiva, and Jeanine Ballone, co-founder of World Collective sat down at a New-York coffee shop after a busy day between PV NY, TexWorld, and Functional Fabric Fair. During their conversation, Jeanine shared her vision for World Collective and the two realized that Tengiva’s technology could drive the mission of making sustainable materials more easily accessible to brands of all sizes. Today, Tengiva officially announces its technology will power World Collective's pioneering platform, allowing eco-conscious suppliers to seamlessly connect with leading brands in an entirely digital space.
In a world where Digital Product Passport (DPP) compliance is a major concern, textile suppliers and apparel brands must adhere to the highest ethical and environmental standards.
By facilitating the onboarding process, Tengiva prepares World Collective’s entire network of textile suppliers for DPP regulations and aligns them with broader sustainability and circular economy objectives.
Jeanine Ballone, former Global Vice President for PVH Corp’s Innovation Lab and Regional Director of Otto Group, selected Tengiva's technology because it was designed by industry professionals who have firsthand experience in textile distribution, management, and procurement. This unique combination ensures a smooth onboarding process for all suppliers and delivers a seamless, user-friendly platform that meets the needs of both suppliers
and sourcing teams.

World Collective’s platform seamlessly transitions its members to digital operations, integrating smoothly with existing teams and supporting physical operations. For clients, it provides direct connections to suppliers, enabling sample swatch orders, production requests, and access to a comprehensive product database. This platform revolutionizes sustainable textile distribution and procurement by being the first fully transactional platform in the market. Unlike traditional “contact us” platforms, World Collective’s platform allows immediate transactions, offering unprecedented efficiency and accessibility.
