How does it work?
Bring in your itens and we'll discuss different options. Our turn around time is usually one week.

Pricing depends on the how the iten is made, what needs to be done and what materials need to be used. We'll always let you know the full price or an estimate in advance.

Happy #menditmay ! Here's all the different flowers I embroidered for a coat repair 🌱
Usually I'm more prone to making up flowers/plants when I do embroidery but for this project it felt really nice to get inspired by what you could find in a flowery meadow or a lovely flower garden. Also Dahlias where my grandmother's favourites ✨️

Three years of Sparks! Three years of our alternative department store in the middle of Bristol’s busiest shopping quarter. Three years of Rethrindle delivering repairs and alterations, workshops and championing sustainable fashion - right across the street from one of the world’s biggest fast fashion producers in existence (you know which one we’re talking about 👀). So much has changed and we have grown from the sustainable fashion workshop to a social enterprise with so much more to offer, including our reclaim shop and workshop space now run by both Meret and Lisa.
@sparksbristol has been instrumental in Rethrindle’s existence and development and we’re excited to continue our journey in Sparks with the Slow Fashion Studio
Come and celebrate three years of defying throw away culture and fast fashion and our alternative highstreet shopping experience in @sparksbristol this Saturday 9th of May from 11AM 🥳 We will also have our monthly fabric sale on and you can join us for a chat and a stitch around the workshop table for our Stitch Social from 1—4PM 🧡
It’s been a busy month at the Slow Fashion Studio. And we’re only a couple of days away from the beginning of ‘Mend it May’. Here are some of our favourite repairs from the past few weeks 🫶🏻
Flower embroidery to repair this worn @carhartt jacket 🌱
I did this one a while back but forgot to post it. Love all the different kinds of embroidered flowers though 🌸🌷🌼

This is 100% percent me 😂 the whole of @sparksbristol knows when I'm working on a project I'm excited about. My usual victims are @sparksfashionbristolcic (as they are easily excited about clothes obvsly) and @theethicalgiftshop (also v excitable)
Thanks for your enthusiasm everyone 🫶 and for humoring me when I've been going on about the same project for daaays 😄
(And thanks to @bristolstvintage for always having your phone ready to film my weird interruptions of your workdays 🩷)
