Valley Forge Tours Promoting Sustainable Fabrics

February 5, 2008

NEW YORK CITY, New York – Valley Forge continues to launch FRESH, a completely sustainable line of fabrics. The largest hospitality fabric supplier held a presentation entitled The Power of One: FRESH fabrics – Recycled Myth & Reality on February 4th at The Muse Hotel.

Line designers Celerie Kemble, Mimi McMakin and Brooke Huttig joined the reception along with speaker and company vice president Diana Dobin to promote FRESH and discuss environmentally friendly practices and products. FRESH, which consists of 100 percent recycled and recyclable polyester, comes with a Valley Forge guarantee that the company will arrange to have these fabrics recycled at the end of their life cycles.

The first FRESH collection was released in May 2007 at the HD Expo, and FRESH presentations began in December of 2007 and has toured through the U.S. The second FRESH collection, which was released last week, introduced a chenille construction. The next collection, which will include new constructions and patterns, is due for launch in spring of 2008.

''Reclamation is the most important thing in my mind, said Dobin. ''We dont want the product to end up in a landfill at the end of its life; thats why we're educating now. We've given the FRESH presentations in all the large hotel companies, and the receptions have been with open arms.''
