Dating back to the late 1950s, the originator of Aloha Fridays, Reyn Spooner, had amassed a collection of over 15,000 fabric swatches and samples of every different size, color, and pattern. Designers across the globe had no access to the fabric archive to provide them with research and inspiration. TDAG provided a highly customized solution for the digitization, descriptive metadata tagging, and launch of a cloud-hosted digital archive. Our image technicians designed a unique production line workflow for our Phase One digital capture system in which the samples were ironed, digitized, metadata tagged, and uploaded to a newly created Reyn Spooner digital archive. TDAG continues to provide ongoing digitization of newly introduced fabric patterns.
