being a clothing repair business in a world of fast fashion is not an easy task. remember that i am sometimes spending ๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ๐ด repairing your favorite garments. this takes skill, love and dedicated time. i try to be as reasonable as i can with my pricing but everyoneโs idea of what clothes and sewing should ๐ข๐ค๐ต๐ถ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐บ cost is so skewed because you can buy a pair of (mostly plastic) jeans for $20. THESE ARE NOT FAIR PRICES. remember, the people making your clothes are being underpaid, taken advantage of and arenโt given many better options. you are feeding into a system that allows this when you purchase fast fashion.
clothes are NOT disposable. humans are being underpaid and overworked to make the cheap garments that youโre purchasing, wearing once and throwing away. ๐ช๐ฏ๐ท๐ฆ๐ด๐ต in your clothes. this statement does not mean that you need to spend a lot of money on your wardrobe. rather, think of your wardrobe like you would an investment; a long term purchase. will the fabric hold up in a year, how about ten? will you like this piece in ten years? what is the fabric made out of? what is the resell value of your piece if you do choose to part with it? (ex: every buy sell trade is ๐๐๐๐๐๐ with forever 21, h&m, and shein bullshit. these items are overproduced and worthless the second you buy them)
iโm not here to shame you, but to make you rethink your next clothing purchase.
shop used. repair what you already own and buy things that last โค๏ธ
thank you to everyone who is dedicated to making their wardrobe more sustainable. i am excited to repair your clothes!
