I'm not sure what you would call a material that was new, never used, but thrown away, and then used. Would the person who used it after it was discarded be ale to say that it was reclaimed material even though it was new?
While I wait for your answers to pour in, I will show you an example of one of the fabrics that I have recently been blessed with:
Originally meant for office furniture, this fabric comes in a variety of sizes, shapes, and designs. Some of it looks like it was from the corporate suite, and some of it looks like it's straight from the Jetson's couch. On second thought, did the Jetsons have anything upholstered?Jackie says that Astro's bed was upholstered with espresso leather (She's jealous).
Matt had an idea that I should create a line of products that are 100% recycled. My current collection has many varying degrees of reused/reclaimed but some parts are almost always new. The chopsticks, and the napkins for sure. I thought it was a good idea though. I'm looking into reused material that can be used for a napkin and still fit with the look I'm going for.

Brielle, you rule. I mean RULE. I think you're becoming more powerful than Ron Burgundy and Robert Goulet combined. Seriously.
I'm kind of frustrated because I thought of something that I wanted you to make me and now I've forgotten. I'll think of it, and when I do I'll tell you.
It'd better be good Reuby, now that I rule, I only make things that rule.
If you saved something from the trash it is totally considered "reclaimed". And, if it's old enough, even "vintage"! (or "retro")
I'd call it a deal.
wocka wocka!
I think you should call it "Resurrected."
Holli, Brilliant!
