Welcome to FASH Repair

FASH Forward is on a mission to save 1 million items from landfill by 2030. FASH Repair aims to accelerate this mission.

The FASH Repair Library aims to make the skill of clothing repair more accessible, by empowering communities to repair clothes with repair kits that link to demo videos.

This will help create a positive impact for the environment and reduce waste to landfill!

There are enough clothes on the planet for the next six generations according to the British Fashion Council (2023).

46 Million Tonnes

The amount of discarded clothing that arrived to Chile from Europe, Asia and the Americas last year (National Geographic, 2024).

Discarded clothing results in millions of litres of water and energy from production and transportation going to waste.

Keeping clothing in circulation through repair means the resources that were used to produce them don't go to waste.
