Repair your clothes instead of replacing them
A broken zip is no reason to throw out a good jacket. Nor is an open seam.
- Repair instead of replace A zip costs less than a new jacket.
- Fixed price after we see it We look at the piece, then tell you the price.
- Small jobs often on the spot Buttons from CHF 3, usually while you wait.
What we repair
Zip, seam or lining — the repair is usually a fraction of what the replacement costs.

Zip replacement
New zip including materials, from CHF 35.
-
Seams & buttons

Almost always cheaper than the replacement
A new zip in a winter jacket costs 35 to 50 francs. The jacket costs 400. That is the whole calculation.

Nothing. We pin it, show you the result and name the fixed price before any work begins.
