Our Social Fabric (OSF) is Vancouver’s only 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 mission is to divert textiles from the landfill and into the hands of creatives in our community
Our Social Fabric has been awarded the Reel Green Approved Vendor certification by Creative BC and BC's Motion Picture Industry. Reel Green Approved Vendors demonstrate a standard level of sustainability in their organizations. OSF is committed to helping BC's Motion Picture Industry with it's goal to be more sustainable!
Our Social Fabric is also a Certified Social Enterprise Supplier with Buy Social Canada whose mission is to promote social procurement by bringing socially driven purchasers and social enterprise suppliers together and to build business relationships that generate social benefits to communities across Canada.
My favorite place to buy fabrics is at Our Social Fabric! As a textile recycling initiative, OSF makes it possible for me to able to afford to buy fabrics to sew as much as I want, as well as to feel better about the sustainability of my sewing practice. I cannot recommend it enough!

"My order arrived yesterday and was the highlight of my day. Really. Thank you for moving to online sales. Thank you for letting me be part of a great recycling endeavor. Thank you to everyone who volunteers to make good things happen. And a special thank you for the little extra tucked into the bag. The holiday ornament is lovely. Best wishes
Best wishes, CW
