This winter we have been working hard to keep up with all the denim restorations. Distressed to the point of collapse these favourite pieces were in need of serious love. The most common problems have been broken zips which we replace, broken belt loops and big rips. We have even divised our own technique to build up large ripped areas like these jeans.

The best thing about old jeans is how amazing they look when they are properly worked in and the denim has finally softerned, so patching up rips will keep them going.

If you have treasured old jeans, skirts, shorts or denim jackets which need reviving or remodelling, please give us a call at 01133453223, email us at info@remadeinleeds.org, or just drop in to our studio at 25 Back Kensington Terrace in Hyde Park, Leeds, any time Tuesday to Saturday between 11.00-16.00.

Alternatively, learn to repair your own garments by booking in for a ReMade in Leeds workshop!
