Repairing pants with holes or tears has many advantages, both economic and ecological.
Extend the life of your favorite pants: It's not always easy to replace pants that you appreciate for their cut, comfort or style. Rather than having to search for a similar model, repairing allows you to keep your favorite garments while restoring their sturdiness.
Reduce your environmental impact: Repairing garments, including pants, helps reduce textile waste. By extending the life of your pants, you're doing your bit for the environment by reducing the demand for textile production, which is one of the most polluting industries.
Benefit from discounted repair thanks to the Repair Bonus: Today, garment repair is more accessible than ever. The Repair Bonus scheme, set up to encourage responsible consumption, enables you to benefit from a direct discount on your repair costs. For example, the price of a simple repair, which is normally €12, will be reduced to €5. Our craftsmen are authorized to offer you this assistance, making repairs even more advantageous.
Our craftsmen take into account the size of the damage, its location and the type of fabric of your pants to offer you the most discreet and durable repair. Our craftsmen can offer several repair options to suit your style and budget. Here are some of the most common methods.
- Invisible mending is an ideal technique for small, inconspicuous holes or tears, often caused by snags or rubbing. This method involves discreetly closing the fabric using threads that match the color of the pants.
At TILLI, our craftsmen take great care to ensure that the repair is as strong and durable as possible, while remaining discreet. This type of repair is ideal for cotton, wool or polyester pants, where the fabric can be sewn back together without creating extra thickness.
- Reinforced repair is often necessary when the tear is wider or located in a tight area, such as the crotch. This technique involves adding a piece of fabric to reinforce the damaged area and prevent future tears.
Our craftsmen choose a fabric that best matches the thickness and color of the pants to ensure a discreet, long-lasting repair.
- Seam repair is performed by our craftsmen when pants are torn along the main seams, such as at the waistband, pockets or crotch. This method enables the damaged area to be firmly repaired.
- The application of patches or decorative pieces can be an interesting alternative to repair. Our craftsmen apply matching or contrasting patches to mask damaged areas, after advising and agreeing with you on the desired look. Patches can be applied to knees, pockets or other areas where the fabric is worn. This technique is particularly popular for jeans, as it allows you to personalize the garment, transforming the repair into a unique styling element.
It is advisable to call in a repair service at the first signs of wear. The earlier the repair, the easier and more durable it will be. Whether it's a recent tear or advanced wear, our craftsmen are there to restore your pants and prevent further damage.
