Alterations

Professional alterations and repair sewing for different stages of life.

Life situations change, and with them the body and the fit of clothing. Alteration tailoring brings garments back into use with care and sustainability, giving existing clothes a new life instead of buying new ones.

We repair and alter all kinds of clothing. Visit us, so we can examine your clothing for the exact alteration it needs.

The normal completion time is 1 week, but it is also possible to work on a fast track schedule.

The fast-track schedule depends of the modification work!
