MENDED

Thanks for sharing our mission to keep clothes in play! Onwards and upwards 🚀

Our first edition of #ImpactFest is a win! Exciting to bring MENDED to the panel on #scaling circular solutions. Here are 3 things my co-panelists said, that stuck with me: 🗣️ René van Geer from SECRID: Showed me the ultimate power of 100+ integrated repair points to bring customers back to your brand. #helloloyalty 💡 Arjan Hassing from CircuLaw: Proofed that regulations are coming regardless, so better use the required changes to create a competitive edge. Instead of just looking for compliance. 📣 Dora Chi Xu from Metabolic: The reason why people repair is rarely for the obvious reason of sustainability. People go to a repair cafe mostly for connection, it's a means to an end. At MENDED, we attract the other crowd: 72% of our users have never set foot in a tailor before. But we see the same: their motivation is rarely about sustainability—it’s about getting more value or performance from products they bought, and simply expecting brands to offer those solutions. Is your brand ready? 🔗 Take the quick repair readiness check: https://lnkd.in/e9fnPTQy Thanks ImpactCity, Victoria Knoop, Wieke van der Zouwen, KplusV, Ikenna Azuike #denhaag #circularity #fashion #repair #scaling #europe

Swipe for ARMEDANGELS x MENDED magic. Hold my sewing kit - IT’S INTERNATIONAL REPAIR DAY. Join folk from across the globe in fixing it up instead of throwing it out. Our approach is to make the highest quality fashion in the most sustainable manner. This works best (for the wearer and the world) when our products are kept in the loop as long as possible. So, when that zip snags or seams rips, exercise some mind over matter and repair it (or even better, let us)! Join our CHANGEMAKERS CLUB and book a repair in just a few taps.

🧵 “Er is genoeg kleding op aarde om de volgende 6 generaties te kleden,” vertelt influencer en ondernemer Agnes Weber van MENDED als ik haar interview voor Triodos Bank. In Europa kopen we jaarlijks 26 kg textiel per persoon en gooien we 11 kg weg, waarvan 87% op de vuilnisbelt belandt. Hoewel de EU streeft naar een circulaire economie in 2050, ziet Agnes wetgeving alleen niet als de oplossing. “Mensen vinden winkelen leuk.” En kleding laten repareren “als het doen van je belastingaangifte.” Met Mended verandert ze dat. Ze maakt kledingreparatie leuk en gemakkelijk. En dat werkt. Lees in het artikel hoe ze dat doet. Link vind je in comment.

🗣️What drives the repair boom? 💥 That’s the question I got to answer as the closing keynote at Emerce Fashion at Pakhuis de Zwijger. As always, the topic of repair on the mainstage of a mainstream event is... major for MENDED. My highlights: 👉🏼 I shared the story of the TEDx jeans that started it all. 👉🏼 My mentor (& hero) Julie Perkins saw me live on stage for the 1st time. 👉🏼 I got to wear Martan and let me tell you: The way you dress is part of the play. Funny how it completely changed how an audience perceives repair - from dusty to premium. I spoke about repair through the angles of policy, profitability, loyalty, sustainability, and product data. Time to keep 👏 clothes 👏 in 👏 play. Thank you to Jessica de Haas for the one-of-a-kind introduction and special thanks to Laura Koedijk for cheering me on from the audience and capturing this moment. #repair #fashionbrands #keynote #circular

📣 We are at Circular Textile Days 📣 Cheers to everyone who found MENDED at Booth 31 already! Goals for today: 💯 Set a record for how often one can say #repair in 6 hrs 🏠 Collect enough business cards* to build origami houses Great to stand next to Clean & Unique The Fabric Connector Ellie.Connect Roosmarie Ruigrok #repair #fashionbrands #brandpartners (*or the modern equivalent of that)

Your reactions to MENDED winning the #NEWCOMER of the year #award were... 🤯❤️🥳🚀🔥 insane & overwhelming. (= better than the award itself) So we had to share the full award-day video! 🎞️ ▶️ With your support, the team is even more energised to push repair further. (didn't know that was possible) #Repair on a mainstream stage is the best sign of it becoming (well...) mainstream! But there is still a long road ahead. Mark 👏 my 👏 words: It will become a standard offering for fashion brands. 👉🏼 If you buy something and it doesn't fit? You return it. 👉🏼 If you buy something and it gets ripped? You repair it.  Well, in our case… YOU GET IT MENDED. 🥇Want to join our winning team?
