In February we celebrated the launch of The Collective in Sydney with a mending workshop, hosted by Rachel Rutt.
Hosted at the beautiful Maido, our local community gathered to learn the art of Sashiko, a Japanese mending technique.
The Collective rewards conscious choices, encouraging thoughtful care for your wardrobe. Simple mending techniques like Sashiko are a wonderful way to keep your wardrobe in use for longer.
