Visible Mending
Life is a battle. Battle scars are sexy! We can turn the rips and tears in your clothing into something you can display with pride—and great stories to tell.
Denim Recrafting
Or dare we say “rearcarnation”? Watch your worn-down denim begin a new life cycle as a beloved part of your daily wardrobe.
It is OK to fall in love again with something (or someone) you know so well!
Creative Clothing Upcycling
We can make your old denim look better and more stylish than when it was new.
Age creates character, and character makes both things and people more attractive.
Heirloom Denim Repair and Preservation
Do you have a pair of jeans that has accompanied you to music festivals for over a decade? Is it time to pass them down to your son or daughter? We can ensure they’re ready for another decade of adventures.
Sashiko Embroidery
A time-honored tradition of Japanese hand embroidery with spiritual roots. Nothing else honors your denim quite like Sashiko.

A masterfully curated collection of unique lifestyle items, from handmade gifts to one-of-a-kind antique finds. We have a hard time letting them go, but finding new homes for them means they’ll be loved—and we’re okay with that in the end.
