Visible mending and slow fashion

garment with embroidered flower


Mending clothes is a valuable life skill. It renews worn clothes and adds new life to old or outgrown items. Based on the Japanese art of Sashiko, Visible mending is a grass-roots movement that patches and embroiders clothes, in a sustainable, ethical and creative way. It is one arm of the slow fashion movement that resists the ecological toll of fast fashion by reusing, renewing and recycling; and choosing natural fibres and dyes to live more sustainably.
