A better fit. A favourite piece, ready to wear again.

How we can help

- Mending: repairing small tears and loose seams.
- Buttons and fasteners: help with missing buttons and suitable hook or zip repairs.
Bring it in. Let’s take a look.
Every garment is different. We assess the fabric, construction and work required before confirming what is possible. If you need a hem adjusted for particular shoes, bring those along too.
