Commissions


We would love to repair your clothes and textiles. Right now, we focus on darning and patching, and take on a limited number of commissions each month.  Commissions start at $50 (e.g. a pea-sized hole) and go up from there, with discounts for multiple pieces.

TO REQUEST A COMMISSION —

  1. View our Instagram (@rrepairsshop) and Mending Gallery to get a sense of what we do.
  2. Submit your repair request using this form. 

We are currently only taking commissions in the Europe.  If you are looking for someone local, check out our Repair Shop Network directory.

Repair Shop Network


Although we wish we had time to take on all the commissions and host all the workshops, the reality is we just don’t have all the time.  Yet, since mending is inherently communal, we have a enthusiastic network of people that are eager to share their skills and knowledge.  Have a look at our Repair Shop Network directory to find a mender in your area.

Are you a mender and would like to be part of our network?  Fill out this form to be added quarterly.
