SBYD ZINE #02 – PATCH AND CARE
The »Patch and Care« zine shows how clothing can be repaired or redesigned with patches and offers tips, tricks and background information on the sustainable use of textiles.
Textile production is globally among the top three pressures on water and land use, as well as among the top five in terms of raw material consumption and greenhouse gas emissions (EU Commission, 2022). In nearly every wardrobe, you will find clothes that are no longer worn because they are out of style, stained, have holes, or have simply been forgotten. The Zine »Patch and Care« focuses on these very garments. We demonstrate how they can be transformed and repaired with patches. An unworn garment can become a standout piece or receive a subtle repair. The zine showcases examples of what repaired clothing can look like, provides insights into textile materials, offers tips and tricks for caring for clothes, and shares facts and figures about the global handling of textiles.
