Fabric repair service in Kenya

Fabric repairs offered after inspection, with the likely visibility and durability of the repair explained in advance.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional repair booking: three adult cotton articles with photographed isolated tears, each no larger than 4 × 4 cm, receiving an agreed visible patch. Draft three 10 × 10 cm patches with 1 cm turned edges leave 8 × 8 cm faces, subject to sound surrounding cloth. No invisible repair or restored-original-strength promise.

Who is the first customer?

Households and clothing retailers with repairable garments.
