Brighton's Fashion Fix: Rescue and Repair

Shelter shops have launched a fabulous new initiative that combines style, sustainability, and skill-building. The Rescue and Repair campaign is here to help you snag pre-loved, imperfect treasures at irresistible prices while boosting your eco credentials.

Did you know almost half of our clothing ends up as household waste? Many items only need a simple fix, yet 60% of Brits admit they can't sew on a button. Shelter's campaign aims to change that by offering imperfect but easily repairable items at great prices in their Brighton shops.

Partnering with sewing experts, Della Yellow, Shelter provides step-by-step video guides for five easy clothing fixes. Whether it's sewing on a button, mending rips, or darning knitwear, these guides make it simple to breathe new life into your wardrobe with just a basic sewing kit. Each Rescue and Repair piece comes with a QR code linking directly to these handy tutorials.

But that's not all! Join the fun in-store workshops, including an expert repair session at Shelter’s Western Road branch on 24 September. Share your sewing successes and upcycled creations on social media with the hashtag #rescueandrepair.

So, why not pop into a Shelter shop today? Not only will you find unique pieces to refresh your wardrobe, but you'll also be part of a movement that champions sustainability and creativity. And if you're considering a move in Brighton, remember we're here to help with all your property needs.
