Part of the Care & Repair Project
This workshop is an integral part of the Care & Repair research project, aimed at extending the lifespan of clothing. This is one of the most impactful ways to reduce fashion’s environmental footprint. We’ll ask you to share your experience with your jeans over time, perhaps through a journal or a photo album – the choice is yours!
In October 2026 and 2027, we’ll invite you to return your jeans for a special exhibition. And don’t worry – you’ll get them back after the showcase!
