A LOCAL CLOTHING PRACTICE

Mend Assembly is a unique blend of grassroots maker space, local production, sustainability expertise, innovation and good old fashioned clothing services.

WE BELIEVE

That when clothing becomes aligned with local practice so many of the problematic elements of the global commercial model fall away. From reduced carbon and transport to deeper connection, respect and care for the clothes that we own and wear.

We are fascinated by how fashion and the way clothing is made and worn is informed by any given locality, especially in this current time.

We believe it is one of the options that will support global solutions and is directly linked to the wider movement for regeneration. We believe in preserving and honouring indigenous and native practice wherever that maybe. We do not seek to hyper-commercialise, dominate or appropriate, rather we encourage a wearer led approach to ‘fashion’.
