    We change, clothes can too. Thank you British Vogue and Emily Chan for highlighting SOJO and the importance of alterations in working towards a more sustainable wardrobe. While we often think of repairs as being the key to extending the lifespan of our clothing, it is great to see alterations being highlighted as a way to love our clothes for longer.

    Thank you British Vogue for spotlighting SOJO in this article on the importance of sizing adjustability in a sustainable wardrobe. Emily Chan writes that “The average woman’s dress size goes up or down 31 times over her lifetime, according to one survey – a real problem that’s often neglected in conversations about sustainability.” To prevent sizing changes meaning a whole wardrobe of clothes is thrown away, it’s great to read about how brands like E.STOTTChopova LowenaEster Manas and Bettter.us are bearing this in mind with thoughtful and unique approaches to sizing. With SOJO, upsizing or downsizing, our alterations make the clothes you own work for you so that they can stay in our wardrobes and our lives even if our bodies change. As our OOH campaign said: "We Change. Clothes can too." https://lnkd.in/gN6hNhia

    This pair of Vivienne Westwood trousers came into our studio with a huge rip down the back seam. It's amazing to see our tailors completely revive an item like this and give it a new lease of life 🧡

    "Buy less, choose well, make it last." This week's repair spotlight is a pair of Vivienne Westwood trousers that had a huge rip at the back. Our SOJO studio repaired them to look as good as new - meaning another garment saved from landfill and able to be loved for longer. These trousers were booked in with us at our Selfridges concession - if you’ve got anything that needs repairing, we’re on floor 3 and are ready to tackle any and all broken clothes.
