The vision behind Repairfect is to enable people to take care of and keep their clothes for longer periods of time. Today, way too many items end up in the trash bin long before they should, simply because of small holes or similar issues.

In the beginning of 2020, Global Shapers Copenhagen wanted to figure out why people don’t repair their clothes. The answers were a mix between lack of knowledge or access to equipment and a mistrust of the tailors in Copenhagen. 

At the same time, we started looking for other organizations that are working with repair and realized there are actually a lot of offers already available. Online tutorials on how to sew by hand, courses, DIY and upcycling workshops, sewing machines you can borrow, and a range of trustworthy tailors. 

We therefore decided that what is needed is not another service, course or workshop, but getting the information out there. 

In order to increase clothing repair, we have created an online platform where you can see all the options, whether you want to try it out yourself or get the support of a professional. That way, repair can become easy, fun and for everyone.
