Your favourite items of clothing, whether shirts, blouses or T-shirts, are exposed to wear, snags and tears over time. These imperfections can quickly alter the appearance and comfort of these essential items. Rather than leaving them in the wardrobe or replacing them, repairing them is a sustainable and cost-effective solution. At TILLI, our expert sewing Makers offer meticulous repairs, adapted to each type of fabric. What's more, with the Repair Bonus, the cost of the service is reduced: for example, the cost of repairing a single tear is cut from €12 to €5. An affordable choice for preserving your favourite clothes.
Repairing your favourite tops has many benefits, both for their longevity and for your wallet:
Repairing your clothes can extend their life, especially as the Repair Bonus makes this option even more affordable. Rather than replacing your shirt or blouse at the slightest tear, a simple repair can extend its life. Adopting this responsible approach also reduces textile waste and contributes to more sustainable consumption.
Our Makers have mastered the sewing techniques needed to restore each garment discreetly and carefully. Here's an overview of TILLI's top repair services:
Repairing small holes and snags
Small holes and snags, common on lightweight t-shirts or shirts, are repaired using discreet sewing techniques, using matching threads so that the repair is almost invisible. Our Makers adapt to the fabric to ensure a long-lasting, smooth repair.
Repairing rips on seams
The seams of blouses or shirts can sometimes become brittle, especially at the armholes or shoulders. Our Makers reinforce these areas, adding extra stitches if necessary, to prevent the tear from getting worse.
Reinforcement or fabric replacement for damaged areas
When an area is more damaged, particularly on a delicate shirt or blouse, our Makers can reinforce or replace the fabric with a matching piece. This precision work ensures a discreet repair.
Decorative embroidery to camouflage visible damage
To add a creative touch while camouflaging a hole or tear, our Makers can offer decorative embroidery. A small design or embroidered initial can not only hide the tear, but also add a stylish personalisation to your shirt, blouse or t-shirt.
Every shirt, blouse or other garment is taken care of by TILLI's Makers, experts in repairing delicate fabrics. Whether the fabric is cotton, silk or linen, we adapt our techniques for a neat and harmonious result, designed to last.
Our Makers use their sewing expertise to repair any snag or tear almost invisibly. With personalised services, they ensure that each repair is as discreet as possible. And thanks to our meticulous approach, you can be sure that your blouse, t-shirt or shirt will be restored to its original beauty.
At TILLI, repairing your garments follows a three-step process to ensure impeccable quality:
Initial assessment: Our Makers examine the garment to assess the damage and determine the most appropriate repair method. They advise you on the options available to achieve the best result.
Carrying out the repair: Depending on the type of fabric and the nature of the tear or snag, our Makers apply suitable sewing techniques. Discretion and durability of the repair are always at the heart of each service.
Finishing and quality control: Before returning your shirt, blouse or t-shirt to you, we carry out a quality control to guarantee an aesthetic and solid repair. This final check ensures that your garment is ready to wear with confidence.
To prevent new snags or tears from forming, here are a few simple tips for looking after your repaired tops:
After a repair, opt for a delicate wash, especially for fragile fabrics such as silk. Air-dry to preserve the fibres and avoid tumble-drying, which can damage the fabric. Finally, iron your clothes inside out at a low temperature to protect the seams and embroidery.
Repairing a shirt, t-shirt or blouse is a durable and economical solution for keeping your favourite garments in good condition.
