About me

Hi, I am Nanna, the Founder of Splendid Stitches, a clothing repair company set up in London in 2010, initially specialising in repairing and altering vintage. We recently extended Splendid Stitches' services to power repairs and alterations services for sustainably minded brands and retailers such as Palava, Revival Retro and Baukjen, in response to growing consumer demand for quality clothes repairs. 

I am an advocate for clothes repairs and alterations to keep clothes out of landfill and on a mission to make repairs mainstream, and Splendid Stitches is a member of several Circular Business networks, such as ReLondon, a signatory to WRAPs Textiles 2030 and part of Ellen MacArthur Foundation's circular business network.
