Mending & Alterations
Storebought clothes rarely fit perfectly off-the-rack.
Let us help you customize the fit of your clothing to your unique shape and proportions so that you can feel comfortable and confident in whatever you choose to wear!
We can also mend rips and tears in beloved items to extend their lifespan and keep them in your wardrobe for longer.
Reach out to alterations@slowfashion.academy for availability and to schedule a drop-off.
