Our team of trained alterations and repairs specialists will very happy to visit your offices and fix clothes on the spot.

Current clients
What we need from the employer
- Pre event publicising of the Alterations and Repairs day, so employees can bring in garments
- Circulation of our publicity material which includes a QR code to get in touch directly with us on Whatsapp, so clients can ask questions about a garment they want repaired
- A central space in the employer offices for the repairs with three tables with plug points extension leads
- Payment to the Collective directly in cash or card (we use the Kundakala card reader for this and the ladies get reimbursed)
What you will get from us
- A team of three specialists with Kundakala’s founder & CEO. We will attend with one or two sewing machines, a portable iron and ironing board, and threads
- Repairs performed on the spot wherever possible. Some examples of what we can do are hems, taking in garments, repairing holes/tears, putting on buttons
- Complicated repairs done offsite. E.g if we have to procure a zip or buttons; or the repair work is more complex, our women will take the garment home and arrange to deliver/have the client collect directly
- A very personal service!
