Who we are and
Why we do what we do
Sustainability:
It is currently estimated that 92 million tons of clothing waste ends up in landfills around the world. Approximately 1 garbage truck filled with clothes per second.
At visible mends we want to encourage people to keep their clothes for life. Why should one small tear lead to the disposal of a garment?
In a world of over consumption, how cool would it be that you kept a garment for over 25 years? Do you know any one that can say they’ve done that. Visible mending not only repairs garment but tells the story of the piece.
Artistic Expression:
Life is too short to always wear boring plain clothes. We want to add whimsy to everyone’s wardrobe and allow them to express themselves through their clothing.
Visible mending allows you to choose the colours and design you want to wear and show the world. Our mends are wearable art that show off your personality. Let’s turn that that old denim coat in a flower garden!
Human Touch:
In a world of AI we want to preserve the human craft that is mending and sewing. From our logo and website to the designs we put on your clothes, Visible mends is 100% human made and ran.
We appreciate the look that human made objects tell, they show the love and care and story that it took to make them. That genuine presence is something that AI cannot replicate.
Through our work you can see the thousands of years of sewing techniques created and passed on through the generations of humans
