Hello Tailr

Last week we had the privilege of attending eBay’s Circular Fashion Fund Winners Showcase — and we’re incredibly proud to share that Hello Tailr was named one of this year’s runners-up! 🎉 We want to take a moment to thank all of our social enterprise partners, in particular @secondstitchmelbourne and @thesocialstudio who are currently handling the majority of our fulfilment. We are actually at 100% fulfilment through social enterprise partners so far in 2025! Their amazing teams are the ones handling your alterations and repairs — and the positive feedback we so regularly receive and get to pass back to them from you is incredibly rewarding. We also want to thank our early brand partners and believers — we’re excited to use this support from @ebay to accelerate our scalable solutions for fashion brands and retailers. We are on a mission to make alterations and repairs a normal part of the online shopping experience and hopefully it's a service you continue to see more of in the future! A huge congratulations to our fellow finalists @hatchandmake / @brood.au , and of course to @shopfront.ig for taking out the top prize. Best of luck to Shopfront in the global finals! Finally, a big thank you to @ebayau , @ebay and the @ausfashioncouncil , and all the judges who made this possible. Here’s to a more circular future where rewear, repair and refashion are the norm. @assembled_threads @thesocialoutfit @by_creme @rcycl #cff2025 #hellotailr #circularfashionfund #rewear #repair #circularfashion #fashiontech #sustainablefashion #supportlocal #socialenterprise #fashionwithpurpose #repairrevolution

Keep your gear going ♻️ Each repair through our partner @hellotailr supports social enterprises like @thesocialstudio who completed this patch repair on a rock-torn Project Pant. Start your repair at openproject.au | 🔗 in bio.

Upcycling: The Project Short ♻️ An ordering error left us with extra Project Pants in lower-demand sizes. Upcycling unsold inventory gives life to products that might not otherwise get one, bypassing landfill and reducing need for raw materials. Upcycling also gives us a unique opportunity to engage @hellotailr and support social enterprises like @thesocialstudio - creating work and learning opportunities for refugee and new migrant communities.

SOUND ON!🔊 This is how it sounds and feels when we give worn clothes a second life and they can be worn and loved again! It was such a privilege to collaborate with Hello Tailr and The Social Studio to repair those cute leggings🧵💚 This laughter is priceless 🫶 #littlerenters #circularfashion #sustainablefashion #visiblemending #repairclothes #prelovedchildrensclothes

Little Renters, @hellotailr and @thesocialstudio teamed up to give worn baby clothes a second life, a project that shows that you can transform small tears and stains into joyful, one-of-a-kind details that are ready to be loved all over again. Think flower stitches, cheeky patches, and creative flair that celebrates wear and care. This isn’t just about repair. It’s about collaboration. When changemakers across the fashion ecosystem come together, we unlock new ways to create value, reduce waste, and honour the stories woven into every garment. We believe circularity starts small, but can have an impact! Let’s make clothes last longer, beautifully. 🌱 We’d love to see how you repair, upcycle, or reimagine your worn pieces. Tag us and share your creative mending magic! #LittleRenters #HelloTailr #TheSocialStudio #MendWithLove #circularfashion #prelovedbabyclothesforsale

When we first met earlier this year, we sparked an idea: ✨ What if we gave baby clothes a second life together? We quickly discovered that collaboration is our quiet superpower. So @little_renters @hellotailr and @thesocialstudio teamed up to creatively repair some of our most well-loved baby garments extending their life, reducing waste, and celebrating the beauty of imperfection. Each stitch tells a story. 🧵 Each patch is a promise that fashion can be different.👕 But this project is about more than mending clothes...it’s about mending systems. By weaving together circular design, repair expertise, and community creativity, we’re showing what’s possible when changemakers unite across the fashion ecosystem. It’s a reminder that small garments can spark big shifts and that collaboration unlocks new ways to create value, drive impact, and reimagine what fashion can be. We’re proud of what we’ve created and we’re just getting started. If you’re working on circular solutions through repair, rental, resale, storytelling, or systems change we’d love to connect. 💛

Extending the life of your gear keeps textile waste out of landfill ♻️   Our repair partner @hellotailr works with social enterprises like @thesocialstudio , who completed this patch repair on a rock-torn Project Pant.   To start your repair with @hellotailr or read more about our impact and initiatives, head to openproject.au
