Repair Your Favorite Lingerie
Lingerie is often made from delicate materials such as lace, satin or silk, and is subjected to frequent washing, which can weaken the fibers. Over time, these pieces can show signs of wear, including holes or tears, particularly where the fabric is under tension. Repair not only keeps your lingerie looking good, it also helps prevent further damage. Rather than having to look for a similar model that may not suit you as well, restoring your lingerie allows you to extend the life of a piece you love and feel comfortable with. At TILLI, we apply techniques adapted to each type of fabric and wear. Our craftsmen select yarns and materials compatible with the original piece, guaranteeing the most discreet repair possible. They also take care to preserve the comfort of the lingerie, as a poorly executed repair could cause irritation or make the piece uncomfortable to wear. Working with meticulous precision, our experts give new life to your undergarments, while respecting their structure and delicacy.Posted 2 months ago

Repair Holes and Tears in Your Down Jacket
A winter staple, the down jacket is a garment often quilted and made from a technical material stuffed with down or feathers. The fabric is insulating and thin enough to remain lightweight. Because of its delicate material, the down jacket is also prone to snags, holes and tears, especially if worn frequently. Rather than allowing damage to grow or replacing a damaged down jacket, a quality repair is a durable and cost-effective solution to restoring its thermal efficiency and appearance. At TILLI, our specialist textile alteration craftsmen have mastered the techniques specific to down jacket synthetics. We offer tailor-made, discreet repairs to extend the life of your garments, with access to the Repair Bonus to reduce your costs.
