TOAST Repair
Our free mending service, giving new life to your worn TOAST garments
TOAST Repair is our free mending service that brings new life to your worn TOAST garments. Bring any TOAST clothing item in need of repair to one of our shops and you have the opportunity to spend time with a repair specialist to discuss creative mending options, learning the best approach for extending the lifespan of your garment. To date we have mended more than 7,428 TOAST pieces.
Our shop colleagues or repair specialists will share their knowledge on invisible and visible mending, from Sashiko repair, darning and patching to appliqué, before selecting the technique best suited to the fabric and type of repair for your item of clothing. Using these traditional techniques, many of which are sewn by hand, will extend the life of your garment for years to come. By taking the time to restore a well-loved item and highlight its worn areas, we can rethink our relationship with clothing.
How Does It Work?
Our teams will review your items, share creative techniques including visible and invisible options, consider your preferences and define the best approach for extending the lifespan of your garment.
Repaired items can be collected from our shops or posted to your home for a small charge.

“The garments I repair have been truly loved, which is always heartening. With visible mending we can celebrate the repair, which in itself is a great antidote to throwaway culture. Every stitch I make brings peace of mind.”
Jessica Smulders-Cohen, TOAST Repair Specialist
