VISIBLE MENDING
Artistic Restoration — Make the Repair Part of the Story
Visible mending is a creative and expressive approach to textile repair, where the mend is intentionally highlighted rather than hidden. Using hand embroidery, patchwork, sashiko stitches, or artistic textile techniques, the damaged area is transformed into a design element — unique, personal, and full of character.
Unlike invisible mending, this approach celebrates the repair itself. Each stitch becomes a visual reminder of resilience, craftsmanship, and conscious fashion.
