visible mending

Visible mending is a style of repair where the stitches used to fix a torn or worn fabric are intentionally made to be seen, often adding decorative elements. Instead of disguising the repair, it highlights it as part of the garment's design, blending function with aesthetics. This approach promotes sustainability by extending the life of clothing and encourages mindful consumption. It also allows for personal expression, turning repairs into unique, artistic details. Visible mending celebrates craftsmanship while making a sustainable statement about valuing and maintaining clothing instead of discarding it.
