At Dome Upcycling's "Love Story of our Clothes" - mending workshop we celebrate extending the life of your beloved garments in need of a little TLC (tender, love and care). Through heartfelt tales we reflect on the happiness the cherished moments full with love and laughter bring wearing these clothes. Engage with our local upcycling designers and creative mending experts, who will assist you breathing new life into your wardrobe favorites bringing endless joy for generations.

Our aim? To raise awareness of extending the life time of clothes through mending and upcycling thus celebrate giving them extended life for generations. Throughout the workshop, we will be discussing different ways to mend and upcycle hoping to ignite a passion for repairing, caring and sustainable living, and thus extending the life-time of our clothes. Selected stories will be captured on video and in photographs, immortalizing your garment's journey. Don't forget to bring along your most cherished pieces of clothing in need of repair!

Explore the space where local women entrepreneurs offer a range of products and services, from creative mending workshops to upcycled and handmade treasures, as well as preloved fashion.

In collaboration with sustainable fashion expert Kasia Jamrozik of Upstitch Studio we organise workshops where we show you how to enhance damaged clothes.
