We believe in a future where no usable fibre arts supplies end up in a Canadian landfill
Our Social Fabric is a non-profit fabric store selling donated deadstock fabric and fibre arts supplies. We keep ‘waste’ fabric out of landfill and instead sell it to the fibre arts and slow-fashion community and anyone with an interest in sewing and in particular, sustainable sewing supplies!
MAKING SEWING APPROACHABLE AND AFFORDABLE
Our fabric, notions and supplies are priced at up to 75% less than regular retail prices. We hold weekly in-person sales at our brick and mortar store in Vancouver and 24 hours a day via our website.
We currently ship across Canada.
That's 132 tons!
All our fabrics and sewing related materials are donated to us. We accept donations of clean unsewn fabric and sewing related materials from the film industry, theatre, manufacturing and individuals.
In 2021, we kept over 20 tons of textiles and sewing related materials out of landfill.
Since our inception in 2009, we have diverted a staggering 132 tons!
ESTABLISHED IN 2009
Our Social Fabric has over 16 years of experience and an established team of volunteers and networks to make sure textile donations make their way into the hands of those that can use it.
We believe that fabric waste can not only be avoided, but channelled to create positive change in our community.
GIVING BACK
Being part of a wider community is important to us. If we have profits, they are used as financial and in-kind support for fibre arts related organisations, educational institutions and other non-profits working in our region.
