Kamloop joins the sustainability movement

Kamloops opens a new eco-friendly fabric shop dedicated to sustainability. Sustainable fabrics are a new addition to Findlay’s sewing machine world. The daughter of the owners of Findlay has teamed up with them to start her own venture.

Renzetti stated that Friendly Fasbircs was an eco-friendly option for locals looking for textiles and fabrics that were less harmful to the earth.

Renzetti explained that the venture brought the stores together and it made perfect sense to have their space right beside a place that sold sewing machines. This venture facilitated customers to buy products from the same store ranging from threads to rotary cutters, needle threads and fabrics. It has become the one-stop-shop.

All the labor workers including workers that made fabrics were paid equal wages.

All the fabrics in the store are made out of natural fibers and are dyed using regulated environmentally friendly chemicals. Now the customers can take pride that their products are biodegradable and the products that are not biodegradable are recyclable.

The fabrics are made out of bamboo, organic cotton, hemp and other organic materials. They also have ChitoSante which is a material made out of crab and shrimp shells. She is proud to announce the store will soon introduce vegan leather made from cactus plants.

Renzetti elaborated that the eco-friendly fabrics are a sustainable option not only for the earth but are also better for the skin astray are more breathable. She believes that there was no requirement to enter into the synthetic textile space when there was a variety of eco-friendly choices available.
