Why the Trade Exchange

Because beautiful materials deserve a second life with the right hands.

The Trade Exchange by Sister & Sewn is a curated way to source, consign, and recirculate exceptional textiles, trims, wallpaper, and finished soft goods within the design trade. Built on trust, discretion, and a respect for the story behind every material.

Why it exists

Designer textiles were never meant to be disposable.

Remnants, overages, archive pieces, discontinued patterns, trims, wallpaper rolls, and finished soft goods often hold enormous creative value, but they need the right context, the right audience, and the right level of care.

The Trade Exchange exists because too many exceptional materials are sitting unused in closets, workrooms, showrooms, warehouses, and project leftovers. These materials still have design value, story, provenance, and beauty. Sister & Sewn gives them a curated, discreet, trade-aware path back into circulation.

Who it's for

Made for the people who know materials best.

  • Interior designers with project remnants or client-approved overages.
  • Workrooms with beautiful leftover yardage, trims, or finished pieces.
  • Showrooms and reps with archive, discontinued, or sample materials.
  • Makers and artists with small runs, samples, or one-of-a-kind pieces.
  • Collectors with designer textiles, wallpaper, or soft goods ready to move forward.

What can be submitted

A discerning range of materials.

  • Designer fabric remnants
  • Continuous yardage
  • Wallpaper rolls
  • Trims, tapes, braids, fringe, and passementerie
  • Finished pillows, lampshades, cushions, and soft goods
  • Archive or discontinued material
  • Artist or maker samples
  • One-of-a-kind pieces

Why consign through Sister & Sewn

A thoughtful recirculation model, not a bargain bin.

Curated, not cluttered

Every piece is selected with intention, so your materials arrive within a considered edit rather than an endless resale feed.

Trade-aware presentation

Materials are described in the language of the trade, with the detail and provenance designers rely on to specify with confidence.

Discreet and brand-protective

Consignments are handled quietly and respectfully, safeguarding your name, your clients, and the reputation of the material.

Story-led sourcing

We lead with the story behind each material, letting its origin, maker, and character guide it toward the right next home.

How it works

A considered path from workroom to next home.

  1. Submit your materials through the form.
  2. Sister & Sewn reviews for fit, quality, condition, and audience.
  3. Approved pieces are photographed, described, and listed with care.
  4. Materials are released to the right audience — trade-only, Trade First, or public.
  5. When an item sells, the consignor is paid according to Sister & Sewn's consignment terms.
