Threaded Light - - Our installation for BLINK Cincinnati is up and ready for you for the next three nights! Come and see what our team has been working on for quite some time!

Threaded Light celebrates the people, skills and craftsmanship behind the clothes we wear. This installation is the result of a whole lot of talented people coming together to take a wild idea from concept to reality.

More than 150 garments provided by Ohio Valley Goodwill have been reimagined in this fun immersive installation in Imagination Alley in OTR!

Watch the Pepper’s Ghost hologram, created by Rob Misleh, sew a jacket from start to finish in 20 minutes. (No easy feat!)

NYC! We’re headed to Première Vision - The Global Fashion Sourcing Tradeshows New York on July 14–15, and we’re excited to share a project that’s been in the works for quite some time.

In partnership with Debrand and EVERLANE we’ve designed and manufactured a limited run of tote bags made from pre-consumer denim, giving perfectly usable materials a second life instead of sending them to landfill. Thank you Debrand for making this happen, and EVERLANE for supplying the clothing stock! (100% of each garment was utilized in this process. Any scraps generated were processed through our Zero Waste Program, and is now SV Shred!) This partnership showcases what Sew Valley firmly believes: you don’t have to use virgin materials to make a thoughtfully designed, cool product!

If you’re attending Première Vision, stop by Booth E6 to grab your FREE bag, learn more about our work, and say hello. We can’t wait to share what we’re building. Also be sure not to miss Liz’s talk on the 14th & 15th @ 10:30, about resale infrastructure, open-loop circularity, and digital product passports.

See you in New York!

Hello! Today is International Day of Zero Waste, which also marks the 1-year anniversary of our Zero Waste Program powered by . To celebrate, we’re sharing some photos, milestones, and highlights from our first year. 

Over the past year, we’ve diverted 2,907.94 lbs of post-production textile scrap from landfill by processing it into recycled fill, also known as SV SHRED. We’ve created new products, welcomed community scrap drop-offs, and built partnerships with businesses to help scale the program.

We’re also collaborating with a team of senior engineering students at the University of Cincinnati to help research & develop our textile fiberboard program. This product is expected to launch later this year. To stay informed, follow us online, sign up for our newsletter, or email [email protected] to join the fiberboard waitlist.

Looking ahead, our goal for 2026 is to double the volume of textile scrap we divert from landfill as we expand partnerships and continue advancing SV SHRED and fiberboard as scalable solutions for textile waste.

At Sew Valley, we believe responsible manufacturing means taking responsibility for materials at every stage of production. Whether at the design stage, on the factory floor, or in how waste is reintegrated back into the material lifecycle. Through circular innovation and collaboration, our Zero Waste Program is proving that a more equitable and sustainable future for apparel is possible. We’re just getting started and look forward to the next year ahead!
