No More Tears: Apparel Mending Services
MAY 25, 2010
Your neighborhood tailor—or a sewing machine—will do in a pinch, but when your wardrobe favorites suffer wear and tear, these garment docs can get them on the mend.
The “shrinks” at Denim Therapy have a passion for de-stressing the (unwanted) distressed bits on your favorite jeans. They’re well-versed in the important stuff, like making sure key attributes like indigo saturation, weight, and degree of wear match when they do a patch job, and they’re up to the challenge of repairing holes in your lucky 7s or your old-school 501s for the (quite reasonable) price of $7 per inch. Just mail in your damaged pair and in about two weeks they’ll whip them into shape and ship them back to you. Denim Surgeon is another player on the forever-in-blue-jeans team. In addition to specialty denim repair, they’ll turn your favorite pair into maternity wear.
In the accessories department, if your strappy stilettos are looking down-at-the-heels, Leather Spa offers everything short of massage and manicure to rejuvenate them. And if the It Bag that cost you a month’s salary starts to buckle under the strain of hauling your life around, Artbag (“Madison Avenue’s best kept secret”) has 75 years of experience in bringing back that special gotta-have-it glow under their belt.
