Rescue and Repair

Thank you for giving one of our Rescue and Repair items a second chance. You’re bagging a bargain, learning new skills and boosting your eco creds, all whilst raising money for the fight for home! These preloved pieces may have some imperfections but with a little TLC could become your new favourite outfit.

Almost half of our clothing ends up in household waste - and some of these items need nothing more than a simple repair. But many of us have lost the art of mending and making good. 

We’ve created a series of step-by-step video guides showing how to carry out five easy clothing fixes in as little as two minutes. Follow the videos below to learn how.
