Wedding dress repairs: buttons, pearls, straps and fastenings
On the wedding day, the wedding dress is the center of attention, but also subject to a great deal of stress. It can easily suffer damage: pearls or buttons coming loose, straps loosening, zippers breaking... What's more, time, improper storage or careless handling can also alter its condition. Whether you want to keep it as a precious souvenir or pass it on, it's best to restore it before it deteriorates any further. TILLI craftsmen, experts in wedding gowns and delicate materials such as silk and lace, will restore it to its former glory thanks to their know-how.Posted 1 months ago

Repairing a vintage Burberry jacket with stoppage
Some pieces of our wardrobe are made to last. A fine wool coat, a well-cut gabardine trench coat, a cashmere sweater... These quality garments, when well cared for, can accompany us for decades. And when they've belonged to a loved one, their value becomes priceless. A coat handed down by a relative, a jacket worn on a special occasion, a garment imbued with memories: we keep them not just for their style, but for what they represent. So, despite all the care we take with them, they're not immune to a snag or a hole. Fortunately, to avoid further damage, there are repair solutions that can preserve these garments without altering their appearance. These include a rare and highly precise technique: invisible stoppage. Our craftsmen suggested this method to Isabelle, a customer who came to us with a Burberry jacket that belonged to her mother. Unfortunately, one of the sleeves had a hole in it. Rather than opt for a conventional repair, she wanted a perfect, undetectable result. Our craftsman Daniela took care of the job with exceptional skill. Discover how she invisibly restored this precious piece.Posted 1 months ago
