The story of Lumin Fabrics begins with Island Batik, the brand that started it all. Born from a passion for color, craftsmanship, and the art of quilting, Island Batik quickly earned a devoted following among quilters and quilt shops alike. Its richly layered batiks, with their depth, movement, and warmth, inspired makers to experiment with color and texture, turning every quilt into a personal expression of creativity. Quilters came to trust Island Batik not only for its beauty, but for its quality, knowing that each piece of fabric would hold up through every cut, stitch, and wash.
As Island Batik grew, so did the vision behind it. To support the brand while allowing it to shine, Lumin Fabrics was created as a quiet parent company, providing guidance, maintaining quality, and fostering innovation, while letting each brand take the spotlight. Lumin’s role is to ensure that the fabrics quilters and shop owners love continue to inspire creativity, and that every collection meets the highest standards of design and performance.
Building on the success of Island Batik, White Owl Textiles was introduced to bring a fresh voice to printed quilting fabrics. With expressive designs and storytelling woven into each print, White Owl encourages quilters to explore bold, playful, and imaginative projects. Quilt shops love carrying these collections because they offer something truly distinctive, giving makers fabrics that spark ideas and become the focal point of every quilt.
Alongside these prints, ECCO Cotton was developed to provide premium solids that bring balance and refinement to any project. Quilters rely on ECCO Cotton for its soft hand, vibrant colors, and dependable quality, whether it is framing a bold batik,complementing a printed design, or creating a quilt built entirely on tone and texture. For shop owners, ECCO Cotton offers fabrics that consistently delight customers.
Together, Island Batik, White Owl Textiles, and ECCO Cotton form a family of brands that serve different creative needs while sharing the same values of quality, integrity, and inspiration. Behind the scenes, Lumin Fabrics quietly supports this ecosystem, ensuring consistency, encouraging innovation, and honoring the craft of quilting at every level.
