Summary · why it matters

Major clothing brands including Levi Strauss & Co., Uniqlo, Primark, and Zara are expanding in-store repair services and sewing workshops to appeal to Generation Z consumers who prioritize sustainability and saving money. Levi's has created a handstitching course for high school students and offers repair and customization services at hundreds of stores worldwide. Primark has held over 730 free 'Love It For Longer' workshops across nine countries and tested in-store repairs in the U.K. Uniqlo provides repairs, sashiko mending, and embroidery in 75 of its roughly 2,500 global stores. Skeptics like Professor Kate Fletcher argue that such initiatives do little to offset the fashion industry's overproduction, while H&M Group has called for tax policies to make repair and resale commercially viable.
