Community Focus: ReVersed Threads and the RI Small Business Village

July 11, 2026 - 08:36

If you are looking for something unique to do this weekend, there is a great opportunity to support local artisans and entrepreneurs. The RI Small Business Village is hosting a special event featuring ReVersed Threads, a standout vendor known for upcycled and handcrafted clothing. This gathering aims to shine a light on the creative talent that often gets overlooked in the rush of big-box shopping.

ReVersed Threads, run by a local designer, takes discarded fabric and turns it into wearable art. Each piece tells a story of sustainability and craftsmanship, offering shoppers a chance to own something that is both stylish and environmentally conscious. The event will also include a rotating lineup of other small businesses, from handmade jewelry to artisan snacks, creating a vibrant marketplace for the community.

Organizers hope this weekend's focus will draw attention to the challenges small businesses face, especially in a post-pandemic economy. By shopping local, attendees not only take home one-of-a-kind items but also help keep the local economy alive. Whether you are a seasoned thrifter or just curious about sustainable fashion, this is a chance to connect with the people behind the products. The event runs Saturday and Sunday, with live music and a coffee cart adding to the atmosphere.
