Repair your clothes instead of replacing them
A broken zip is no reason to throw out a good jacket. Nor is an open seam.
- Repair instead of replace A zip costs less than a new jacket.
- Fixed price after we see it We look at the piece, then tell you the price.
- Small jobs often on the spot Buttons from CHF 3, usually while you wait.
