Will you be able to match the yarn and colour exactly?
Our technique allows us to use yarn from your original garment giving you a perfect colour match. If the size or quantity of the holes is such that we don’t think we can do them all, we’ll of course advise you in advance.
Shrunken Garments
Sadly once cashmere has been shrunk in the wash the damage has already been done to the fibres.
We don't have any service that will reverse this damage. Our only tip is to try soaking the garment in a a cashmere wash/water mix and then re-shape whilst damp.

Invisible Mending
Invisible mending is a fabric repair technique that re-weaves yarn into the fabric of a garment or item of upholstery to seamlessly patch a hole. The yarn is often discretely taken from other parts of the garment to allow for a perfect colour match.
Preparation is key
Moth damage
Don’t let moths ruin your wardrobe, by protecting your garments. Moth season kicks off in May and lasts all summer through to October and you’ll find them in dark, undisturbed places.
