“Love Story of Our Clothes - vaatteidemme rakkaustarina” is a collaborative community project on memories, repair and human connection. We care for our clothes, people and the planet.
Remember to bring your beloved clothes!
The workshops take place in different locations around Helsinki:
❤️🩹 Wed 20.5.2026 at 5-8 PM
Kylätalo Kääntöpaikka, Intiankatu 1
How it works:
1. “Kahvia ja pullaa” We meet, chat and enjoy.
2. We listen to each other’s stories and mend the clothes you bring.
3. Let us capture the story of your clothes on video and photo.
In interactive workshops, participants share their stories, learn how to repair and preserve their garments. We record their memories. The project celebrates cultural heritage, fosters human connection, and inspires people to care for their clothes and the planet.
