Have your curtains become damaged over time, and do you notice any holes or tears? Before you think about replacing them, consider a repair. Whether it's from the sun, friction or accidents at home, curtains can wear out, but that doesn't mean they're good to go. At TILLI, our expert Makers offer you the chance to restore your damaged curtains by repairing holes and tears in a discreet and durable way. Instead of buying new curtains, opt for a more economical and environmentally friendly solution.
Repairing your curtains has several benefits, both practical and economical:
- Extending the life of your curtains: Quality curtains can be expensive. Repairing a hole or tear means you don't have to buy new curtains and can continue to enjoy your current ones.
- Preserving the aesthetics of your interior: Damaged curtains can detract from the harmony of your interior design. A well-executed repair can restore their original appearance.
- Avoid waste: Repairing rather than replacing is part of a more responsible approach, reducing textile waste and encouraging the reuse of materials.
At TILLI, we adapt our repair techniques according to the type of fabric and the size of the holes or tears.
Invisible repair of small holes
Small holes, often caused by snags or natural wear, can be repaired invisibly. Our Makers use specific techniques to close up holes without altering the overall appearance of the curtain.
Example: A small hole in a linen curtain can be closed with a discreet seam that blends into the fabric, making the repair virtually invisible.
Repairing large tears
Larger tears require a more complex intervention. Our Makers can fit matching pieces of fabric or carry out reinforcement stitching to repair the tear while maintaining the aesthetics of the curtain.
Example: A tear in a cotton curtain can be reinforced with a matching cotton patch, ensuring continuity of pattern and colour.
Reinforcing fragile areas
If certain parts of your curtains are subject to more stress (such as borders or areas close to fastenings), they can be reinforced. This will prevent new tears from forming in the future.
Example: If the bottom of your curtains is showing signs of wear, our Makers can reinforce the hems to prolong their durability.
The curtain repair process at TILLI is simple and efficient:
1. Personalised assessment
Our Makers start by assessing the overall condition of your curtains. They identify the areas in need of repair and discuss repair options with you. This assessment allows us to choose the best solution for your curtains depending on the fabric and the extent of the damage.
2. Made-to-measure repair
Depending on the materials and the size of the holes or tears, our Makers apply suitable techniques to ensure an aesthetic and lasting result. Whether it's an invisible seam or the addition of reinforcements, each repair is carried out with care.
<3. Finishing and quality control
Once the repair has been carried out, we carefully check that the Finishing is impeccable and that your curtains have regained their appearance and functionality.
