Learn the craft of Mending from Seams Helsinki & repair your Moi Namaste pieces or other clothes at Lapinlahti
Did you know millions of tonnes of textiles, mostly fast fashion, are discarded into landfills every year? As per Ellen MacArthur Foundation , the equivalent of a rubbish truckload of clothes is burnt or buried in a landfill EVERY SECOND.
For Moi Namaste, we want to work with our customers to ensure they have the skills to keep their clothes in use for as long as possible! For this, we have partnered with SEAMS HELSINKI , and organized a Mending Workshop where you can learn the art of mending so you don't have to trash your much-loved pieces ever!
SEAMS was started in 2015 as a registered association (Kestävä Muoti ry.). It is an open collective in search of a new kind of local and sincerely sustainable fashion culture and discourses within.
They have organized sewing & textile-related workshops for people interested in picking up new skills and sourcing local leftover materials.
On 28th June, designer and mending enthusiast Gaurika Singhal @dekhogaurse will be there to guide you and Seams Helsinki will provide materials and tools. No previous experience is needed! If you already have advanced mending skills, you can try some sashiko techniques, we'll have some inspiring materials to get you in the flow!
As the author Orsola de Castro says, taking care and elongating the life of our clothes in today's world can be our act of resistance.
