On average, we buy 60% more clothes today than we did in 2000, but wear them for only half as long. This means that more and more new, often low-quality, clothing is being produced, causing the at least 39 million tons of post-consumer textile waste generated worldwide each year - mainly in the form of garments.

Repair Rebels is addressing precisely this point and has therefore developed a service that makes it easier to repair clothing, accessories and shoes. The goal is to offer an alternative to buying new and, through a digital concept, to draw special attention to local solutions, thus digitizing what is today still a highly fragmented, analog market for fashion repairs. They also offer DIY tips and member club benefits and create an experience that is fun and makes the user proud to be actively involved in conserving resources and securing local jobs.

We are very proud to announce our cooperation with Repair Rebels and to show that double the power, double the impact. Our collaboration is an important contribution to the circular economy and opens new ways for sustainable fashion consumption. WeDressers can use the service of Repair Rebels to repair their rental items to be able to lend them even longer. Repair Rebels users have already taken the first step towards the circular economy and why not go the extra mile.

How does Repair Rebels work?

The core of Repair Rebels is the website, which is very easy to use. Users can book repairs around the clock from the comfort of their sofa. The garment is picked up at the desired time and delivered repaired 7 days later. With simple steps, a broken favorite item can be turned back into a much-worn fashion statement in no time at all. Door-to-door service is available in Düsseldorf, repairs outside Düsseldorf are sent by mail. Repair Rebels have found that demand for textile and shoe repairs is particularly high outside of major cities, as small rural areas often lack local offerings.

High-end luxury brands and high-end items are usually easier to repair than fast fashion, but they still try to find a solution for every favorite item.

We are both on a mission to make fashion consumption more sustainable and drive change. Repair is an essential component in conscious consumption and interaction with fashion, and is the perfect complement to fashion rental. Not only can you use the Repair Rebels service for the clothes you offer through WeDress, but also for everyday fashion to give it a new life.

Repairs are meant to make people proud of their clothes, they are meant to be a token of appreciation. People already approach each other in clubs and bars about their vintage treasures; in the future, we hope to add repairs, upcycling and rentals to the spectrum. Good design has no expiration date, and clothing that holds memories of beautiful moments never goes out of style. Because #LovedClothesLast
