Earlier this month, Second Stitch partnered with @decjuba to celebrate the launch of their biggest denim range yet at The Denim Studio. With dedicated denim stylists creating a personalised shopping experience, our seamstresses provided complimentary tailoring in the Atelier—offering on-the-spot hemming and garment alterations to help guests find their perfect fit. Here are a few photos from the event. #SecondStitch #Decjuba #DenimStudio #DenimLaunch #Tailoring #Alterations #SustainableFashion #SocialEnterprise #MelbourneEvents #FashionCommunity
