Mending Commissions
I specialise in handmade clothing repairs, including knitwear darning, sashiko stitching, and visible mending for materials such as wool, denim, silk, cotton, linen. My approach celebrates the beauty of mended garments, though I can also offer invisible repairs where possible, depending on the material and damage. You’re welcome to bring your items to my studio for a consultation where we can discuss the repair, your preferences for colour and visibility, and costs. Most commissions can be completed within two weeks.
PricingEach repair is priced individually, based on the garment, technique, and amount of work involved. As a guide:
- Small repairs: €40–60
- Medium repairs or multiple small repairs: €60–120
- More complex and heavily damaged pieces: from €120
Prices include materials. Visible mending is often chosen for garments with personal or sentimental value, or pieces people want to continue wearing and caring for long-term.
Contact meTo request a repair, contact me at bronwen.yj@gmail.com to arrange a studio visit. If you’d like an estimate beforehand, you can send photographs by email, though it’s often easier to assess a piece in person. My studio is located at Marius van Bouwdijk Bastiaansestraat 35, 1054 RS, Amsterdam.
Repairs by post are also possible if you don’t live nearby, provided you cover the postage. Reach out by email and we can discuss options.
