Mend-It-Cafe
Mend-It Cafe exists to reduce textile waste and reestablish value and respect for the resources and labor that go into creating fabric and making clothing, bedding, drapery and other textiles.
We support slow fashion and help people understand the wisdom behind, buy better buy less. Fast fashion relies on petroleum-based synthetics that become microplastics in the air, water and soil through washing and wearing. Slow fashion prioritizes natural materials, locally made and well-crafted items that will last decades not months.
How it works: Your invited to bring clothing and textiles in need of repair. One of our stellar menders will consult with you on the details. We can do visible and invisible mends as well as minor alterations such as hems. We even darn socks and sweaters!
U-Mend-It station: We offer you the option of mending yourself with the guidance of one of our expert menders
Always Free: There is no cost for our services though donations are gladly accepted.
Limit 2 items per person.
