About FoldedThread

At FoldedThread, we weave the elegance of science into everyday wear. Our mission is to celebrate the beauty of biology through bold, thoughtful designs you can wear, share, and spark conversations with.

We use the AlphaFold Protein Structure Database to bring the invisible world of molecular biology to life. Whether embroidered or printed, every Folded Thread product carries a story of structure, discovery, and creativity.

Why proteins?

Proteins are the building blocks of life. Their folded shapes drive the functions of cells, bodies, and ecosystems. We think that’s worth showing off. By combining art, science, and fashion, we hope to inspire curiosity, connection, and a little nerdy pride.

Join the movement.

Whether you're a scientist, student, or someone who just loves good design with a story, FoldedThread is here for you. Let’s wear our love for science, literally.
