Founded in 1990, Vyva Fabrics originated as a supplier of upholstery materials for boats and yachts, operating from a small warehouse in a charming Dutch harbour.

Over the course of 32 years, Vyva Fabrics has evolved into a leading wholesaler specialising in the distribution and production of quality versatile fabrics suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Their new collection REVYVA and Bouclé is crafted using 100% recycled polyester yarns, derived from post-consumer plastic bottles. This innovative approach to creating fabrics from plastic waste has granted Vyva Fabrics significant certifications, such as the Global Recycle Standard (GRS) and OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certifications.

  • The GRS certification ensures that REVYVA is made from recycled materials and meets high environmental and social standards.
  • The OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification guarantees that REVYVA is free from harmful substances, making it safe for both people and the environment.
