Our Social Fabric (OSF) is a non-profit textile recycling initiative that has been in operation since 2009 in Vancouver, BC. OSF is run by a small but passionate volunteer Board. We receive donations of textiles, fabric and sewing related supplies from the film industry, theatre, manufacturing, estate closures together with home sewers and artists. Our team of volunteers sort through the donations and offer them back to the community at drastically reduced prices. Our goal is to keep textiles out of the landfill and into the hands of creatives in our community. Revenue from the sale of textiles helps to pay for rent, utilities and one part-time employee. Our sincere gratitude goes out to all our wonderful customers, volunteers and donors for your amazing support – we couldn’t do it without you!
Our next Sale Event is Sunday, February 24th, 10:00 am-1:00 pm
Check-out our new FREE “Repair Your Wear” workshop this coming Sunday, February 24, 2019 at 10:30 am. Thanks for the amazing response, this workshop is now full.
