Borrowing from the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold alloy, we’ve developed a kintsugi for clothing practice as a way to cherish and extend the life of our favourite garments by visible mending with gold thread - and a basic but comprehensive kit to inspire and provide the tools for you to kintsugi with.

This full kintsugi mending kit includes -

  • Printed guide to Kintsugi for Clothing - mending techniques
  • Lined, zippered pouch made from fabric cuttings sourced from Mrs Woo's clothing production line
  • Darning mushroom with hollow handle for needle storage - made from recycled timber by UseThings
  • 1 selection of gold-coloured fabric patches - various natural fibre fabrics of linen and cotton
  • 1 card of silk embroidery gold thread - 40m of thread
  • 2 cards of cotton embroidery gold thread - 40m of thread per card
  • 1 set of pins
  • 1 set of sewing needles
  • 1 pair of snippers

NOTE: Due to various timber sources, there are colour variations and unique markings on each darning mushroom.

Kintsugi mending kit- Gold!

In these days of fast fashion & retail waste, I respect the principles of repair, reuse, recycle and love the japanese aesthetic of wabi sabi. This mending kit is a nice starting point for anyone who is looking to extend the life of a favourite garment. It would also make a lovely gift for a crafty friend. It came in a sweet soft zippered pouch and included not only a variety gold fabric off cuts to use in my mending, but also 3 skeins of gold thread (2 cotton & 1 silk), needles, nigiri style thread scissors and instruction cards for 3 styles of stitching to use in my repairs. I’ve already used it. I love it.
