Indie label Sister Jane opens repair studio

London-based womenswear brand Sister Jane has just opened its Repair Studio within its recently renovated Notting Hill townhouse store.

The full-on sustainability brand is taking action to extend the life of its designs, “encouraging a circular fashion model and tackling disposability culture head on”.

The new studio offers complimentary repairs on Sister Jane pieces (loose seams, missing buttons etc) purchased directly from the brand over its 14 years in business, while paid alterations are available on new items (such as adjusting length), “giving customers the option to personalise fit for a small fee”.

Launched alongside Sister Jane’s ‘No Place Like Home’ collection, repairs and alterations are carried out in-house by the brand’s own specialist, with appointments available Monday-Friday.

Founder Enrico Ziglio said: “We pride ourselves in creating meaningful and emotive garments that hold memories for customers for many years, so we are proud to be able to offer Sister Jane fans a way to preserve their pieces for longer. As a fashion brand, we believe we have a responsibility to extend the life cycle of our items and reduce waste and we hope that our new initiatives make a small difference and empower our Sister Jane community to shop and enjoy their coveted pieces more sustainably.”
