REPAIR + REWEAR
TACKLING TEXTILE WASTE TOGETHER
REPAIR + REWEAR IS A COMMUNITY INITIATIVE BASED IN ERITH THAT TACKLES TEXTILE WASTE. WE DO THIS THROUGH:
1. A COMMUNITY REPAIR SERVICE
Pay a subsidised rate for us to repair your well-loved clothing.
2. LEARN-TO-REPAIR WORKSHOPS
Learn the skills to repair your own clothes. Keep an eye on The Exchange’s programme for the next session.
3. TEXTILE TEXTS – FREE REPAIR COMMISSIONS
Submit your item’s story, and it may be selected for a full larger scale repair free of charge. These items will be exhibited and their stories told. See below for how to apply.
4. REUSING DONATED, PRE-LOVED ITEMS TO TEACH SKILLS
We take donations of good quality clothing, fabrics, threads etc. and use them to teach skills or turn them into new pieces to be loved.

Pricing depends on the size and complexity of the work involved.
The best thing to do is get in touch with us to discuss a repair and budget. For contact information, see below.
