FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Here are a few common questions about garment alterations, remodelling, and upcycling.
How do you price alterations and redesign work?
We start with an inspection of the garment, fabric, and requested fit before confirming the project scope and quote.
Can every garment be upcycled?
Yes. We work on redesign and upcycling projects, but the final result depends on the garment's existing fabric, construction, and condition.
How long does a redesign project take?
Project timing is set after assessment. Typical turnaround for redesign work is about 10 to 20 business days, depending on scope and workshop capacity.
Which payment methods do you accept?
We accept card, bank transfer, and cash on collection.
Can I bring my own materials?
Yes. Customer-supplied materials are reviewed, and any supplementary materials are quoted separately when needed.
