About the event
Did you know the average lifetime of a piece of clothing is only 2 .2 years, and three in five items of clothing will be discarded within one year. British citizens alone discard a million tonnes of textiles every year! We're on a mission to bring our worn out and damaged clothes back into use at our Preloved Studio.
Join us this Sustainable Fashion Week for our morning workshop on Creative Mending. Bring along an item of clothing in need of repair and explore the many creative ways to approach mending your clothes.
