Why giving your clothes (and shoes and handbags!) a second life is the smartest style move you’ll ever make
At elaundry, we believe in quality over quantity. In timeless over trendy. And in mending what matters — from a favourite blazer to the heels you danced through your twenties in. Repairing isn’t just a practical choice; it’s a powerful act of sustainability and self-expression.
Here’s why:
1. Keep What You Love in Rotation Your favourite jeans fit just right for a reason. That handbag? It’s seen you through interviews, date nights and everything in between.We understand emotional value — and our expert tailors, and sewists treat every piece with the respect it deserves
.2. Reduce Waste, One Stitch at a Time – Australians send an average of 23kg of textiles to landfill each year. At elaundry, we’re proud to offer alternatives: precise repairs, smart alterations and creative upcycling solutions — because what we throw away matters.
3. Custom Fit, Perfect Feel. From hemming and reshaping to adding invisible zips or reinforcing straps, we tailor garments to fit you beautifully. From hemming and reshaping to adding invisible zips or reinforcing straps, we tailor garments to fit you beautifully.
4. It’s Often Cheaper Than Buying New A torn lining or broken zip doesn’t mean you need to start over. Small repairs can bring your favourites back to life for a fraction of the cost of replacing them — especially when you already love the fabric, fit, and feel.
5. Support Craftsmanship & Conscious Business We honour the tradition of lasting, functional design. Every repair we do is part of a bigger belief: that we can move away from disposable fashion and back to valuing what we own. Choosing elaundry means choosing thoughtful care over fast fixes. So sort out those favs items that need repaired and visit us at elaundry Stones Corner or Clayfield or book an elaundry valet pick up.
