Fixing instead of ditching: Why Repair is Essential for Sustainable Fashion
But picture this: having a local tailor who can make your clothes fit perfectly and last longer: making you look and feel amazing. Supporting these artisans is not just practical, it’s key to keeping circularity alive.
Repairing is also the part of the circular economy where you can get creative. Of course you decide to learn the basic skills to repair a button or a small tear and trust professionals for the rest.
But if you are crafty and love fashion, you can dive into the wonders of alterations, embellishments and upcycling. So many resources are now available for us to reinvent pieces of clothing completely when we can’t or won’t wear them the way they were originally designed as.
This new (or renewed) repair culture of mending, fixing and maintaining is a craft in itself and is meant to be at the heart of sustainable fashion. In a world where fast fashion is creating trends and making everyone look the same and wear clearly low quality clothing... Making your own clothes unique has become and is a lot cooler.
