why visible mending?

  • Canadians send about 500 million kilograms of fabric to the landfill every year - mending helps to reduce that amount!

  • By repairing clothing, there’s less need to purchase new. Reducing purchases helps to step away from the fast fashion cycle with its enormous environmental and human rights impacts.

  • Like the Japanese art of kintsugi, visible mending returns an item’s functionality while highlighting its personality. Visible mending adds charm to clothing.

  • Repairing what you have is more affordable than buying replacements.
