Inspiration

About FabScrap

shopfabscrap.org

FABSCRAP began with a simple yet powerful idea: to address the growing issue of fabric waste in the fashion industry. While working at the NYC Department of Sanitation, Jessica Schreiber was approached by fashion brands seeking a way to recycle their excess fabric. This demand sparked the vision for FABSCRAP, which officially launched in 2016 after Jessica successfully pitched her concept on Lifetime’s Project Runway: Fashion Startup and secured investment grants.
