Repair Rituals
Textile Maintenance as a Sustainable Self-Care Practice
Every day, we care for our bodies and the spaces we inhabit. While a warm shower is often experienced as comforting and restorative, washing or repairing clothing is frequently perceived as a tedious chore. Rather than caring for our garments, we often choose to replace them. Repair Rituals reimagines textile care as a form of self-care. Specially designed care tools and objects support the experience of mending and cleaning as a sensory, mindful ritual. These care objects invite people to rediscover the practice of caring for their clothing. They foster a more attentive and affectionate relationship with textiles, making sustainability tangible not as a sacrifice, but as an act of care—for ourselves, for materials, and for the environment.
