SEAM REPAIR: If seams are unraveling or coming apart, they may need to be re-sewn to reinforce the structure of the sweater.
Here’s a great example of our work. The garment pictured above was sent with a request to repair the moth holes . The piece was a high quality garment by Tom Ford that featured multiple holes throughout the garment including the body and the button bands.
Our experts harvested yarn from the piece itself for an exact yarn match and reknit each hole by hand providing for perfect tension and perfect repair. At the end, we were able to restore the garment to its original state.
Repairing larger or more complex moth hole damages demands additional time and skill, which can escalate the overall cost of the service.
