Buying vintage is a fun way to recycle, giving a new lease of life to a unique piece of fabric. @oliveroadlondon source fabrics from the 1950s to 1990s, individually selecting each piece for it’s quality and style. Founder, Sarah, refreshes each fabric using environmentally friendly cleaning products. Each piece is unique and often only 1 to 2 metres in length giving you the chance to create an individual garment, accessory or soft furnishings that is also sustainable 💚 Come and see her at The Stitch Festival to get your hands on a gorgeous supply of vintage fabrics! #stitchfest22 #stitch #stitchfestival #stitch22 #textileartist
