Instructions at CHECK OUT:
Select “Provide your custom details HERE” (to the left of the Subtotal at CHECK OUT).
Provide us with as much detail as possible about what exactly needs repair. We'll also be guided by any notes you attach to your item/s.
Package your cleaned garments, along with a prepaid & self-addressed courier bag, and send it to our Workroom, as detailed in Mending Guide Instructions.

Every item reinvented/repaired/reused means less landfill!
Our goal is to reduce textile waste. We know extending the life of clothing and textiles with well-designed and timely repairs will reduce textiles in landfill.
