darn good mends
Each of my mends are one-of-a-kind, designed to specifically suit your garment and the way you’re going to keep wearing it.
I mend with life in mind - both the life that the garment has already lived, and the one it will continue to live. I mend with care, quality and creativity as my guiding principles.
The vast majority of my fabric and haberdashery is sourced second hand, from charity shops, vintage suppliers and deadstock retailers.
Thoughtful clothing repair and bespoke mending & darning from my studio in East London. Hand or machine mending available depending on the type and style of repair.
