Looking for some inspiration to revive your old pairs of jeans?
We tipped you earlier on a sewing café in Berlin where you can restyle it yourself. Alternatively, you can send them off to Buenos Aires, to get it FedExed back: transformed into a one-of-a-kind luxury object!
Argentinian Teresa and Gustavo Bolotin got inspired by the Kabbalah religious philosophy to set-up their their contemporary company Jeans Makers (read their pledge in Spanish, on their website). "Vive La Révolution Spirituelle"
They take any pair, ask you a couple of questions about what you want, and then send you a one of a kind piece of clothing back. Get inspired on their new website, and don't hesitate to send off your Kuyichi trousers that are left behind, dust-biting in your wardrobe!
A closer-by alternative for some, is the service of London-based Junky Styling. Best-friends Annika Sanders and Kerry Seager have been restyling all kinds of worn-out clothes for seven years now, resulting in their well-known shop in Brick Lane (London's East End).
“Bring your old, ill fitting, worn out clothes into the Junky Wardrobe Surgery for a complete overhaul, customisation or a simple alteration, and be part of the design processâ€!
Put your old clothing to the test & join in the resurrection of wasted clothing!
