We are excited to announce that this exciting fundraiser is returning for 2024!

Ragfinery’s “Rags to Riches” Runway Show is on Saturday, October 26th, at The Majestic in Bellingham. This creative reuse showcase will feature stunning designs made from repurposed textiles, celebrating both sustainability and artistic innovation of our local designers.

Proceeds from the event will support our programs, including the relaunch of our workshops, which are back for the first time since the 2020 lockdown! Our first workshop in early August sold out within an hour, demonstrating the community's strong demand for our programming. Funds will also support our textile waste diversion initiatives, job training and creation efforts, and provide low-barrier access to garments, textile art supplies, and artist support.
