Open datasets and developer tools for the fashion and apparel industry.
These projects provide machine-readable data that fashion tech teams actually need — HS tariff codes, care label symbols, measurement standards, costing models, textile properties, and more. All MIT-licensed, all ready to drop into your stack.

These datasets are maintained by the team at Kobo — a product operating system for fashion brands. We built these because the fashion industry runs on tribal knowledge trapped in spreadsheets and PDFs. This data should be open.
Contributions, corrections, and new datasets are welcome. See the CONTRIBUTING.md in each repo.
