Marks and Spencer (M&S) is partnering with Sojo to offer a clothing repair service, starting from £5, to cater to the growing demand for sustainable fashion and reuse. The service, accessible via the M&S website, will allow customers to repair their M&S clothes, with repairs taking approximately 10 days to complete.
The fashion industry must prioritize repair services to extend clothing’s lifespan and reduce waste. Sojo’s Pledge To Repair campaign, backed by renowned brands, aims to increase accessibility and affordability of repairs. Reducing VAT on repairs and offering a ‘right to repair’ would further incentivize the adoption of repair practices. Veja’s in-store repair services and Sojo’s partnership with Vestiaire Collective exemplify the growing commitment to repair within the industry.
