TILLI's services for repairing shirts, blouses and T-shirts

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.

Our tips for looking after your shirts, t-shirts and other tops after repairs

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. Thanks to the Makers at TILLI and the Repair Bonus, you can bring your favourite tops back to life while benefiting from a discount on the cost of the service.
