Saturday 26 April 12:00-17:00, alongside 'Mend in Public Day', it is also 'Kings Day' in the Netherlands. Our national colour is orange, so we will put orange thread on our sewing machines and provide orange darning and embroidery thread. So the visible mending on your clothes or accessoires will be in orange.
Because of Fashion Revolution Week, we have four days of Slow Fashion activities from 23 -26 April. At the same time, it's a great start to our community at our new location in Enschede!
