  • 3-4 months average lifespan
  • Often non-recyclable due to mixed materials
  • High carbon footprint from production to disposal
  • Contributes to textile waste in landfills

Repaired Garment

  • 30+ times more wears with proper repairs
  • Years of extended lifespan
  • Reduced need for new production
  • Lower overall environmental impact
  • Creates a circular fashion economy

By choosing repair over replacement, you can reduce your clothing's environmental footprint by up to 70%.
