Visible mending is wicked, it’s kintsugi for a modern age
I bought some gold thread to finish my clothing fixes with, just to borrow some of Japanese ‘repair it better’ vibes. And to show it off & inspire 😁 ofc
Going off the headline alone makes me think of when the idea of putting cosmetic patches on things felt cool. Personally I still think it’s cool, maybe others do too, I dunno.
Anyway, repairing things is cool whether it’s electronic or cloth!
I wear a jacket that is now structurally reliant on the random patches I have sewn on over the years… and it still looks like shit… but it has a pocket that once held a jug of wine while I saw Prodigy in Paris, and no new jacket can replace that
As a guy who has always believed in fix it til you can’t, I love this trend.
Deny the slave labour exploitation parasites profit.
Purchase high quality items and maintain them 🐸
“as an act of resistance i am going to buy a good thing instead of an item of absolutely fucking DOGSHIT quality”
it’s pretty insane to think about how we ended up in this situation, imagine saying this to a medieval peasant
You don’t understand what you are talking about.
