On the Mends is a mending newsletter on keeping things loved in use longer

On the Mends primarily features clothing and accessories, but we’re open-minded. We love stories of fixes of all kinds of things.

How can we re-fall in love with the things we own? How can we continue using things we already own instead of replacing them? How can we make our own wardrobe feel as new and exciting as the contents of a store?

On the Mends features two different kinds of posts

  1. Featured mends. You’ll see before + after photos of the fix, hear how the repair was done and read why it felt worth it to make the change.

  2. Advice from experts. You’ll hear from a variety of professionals, from pants to shoes to knits, who have particular expertise repairing or repurposing clothes.

Got a mend?

Reach out if you have a mend you’d be up to have featured! Can be something you got repaired by a professional or that you fixed yourself.
