From Levi's to Primark - the fashion chains selling mended clothes

Toast's repair services are free, but off-the-peg "renewed" pieces fetch higher prices than the originals to reflect their unique character.

Levi's, which boasts probably the longest tradition of being fixed up by its fans using anything from rhinestones to fringed cuffs, is rolling out a workshop programme this year.

The firm says its research shows younger customers in particular want to repair more but don't know how.

For now, Levi's' workshops focus on traditional mending skills, such as sewing on a button and hemming, rather than visible mends, and at a recent launch event in London, that seemed to be what its Gen Z participants were looking for.
