DIY Repair Resources

We often associate durability with physical strength. However, an object's emotional durability is just as important to its longevity. When you love something, use it often, and share memories with it, you're more likely to care for it and keep it in use.

At LIVSN, we design for physical and emotional durability. Our hope is that you will use our products enough to find the breaking point of their physical durability and that, at that point, your garment's emotional durability will inspire repair.

Through our repair program, you can have your garments repaired by an expert, but there's something special about doing it yourself. This blog is for the DIYers.

The LIVSN Repair Guide is made for sharing the DIY spirit. Download the guide, print it out, cut and fold it into a zine, and share it with a friend who needs a little help getting started.

Below, we've compiled some helpful resources for folks just getting into repair. Although there are some technically "right" ways to do things, it's important to remember that if your repair keeps your garment in circulation, you've done it right.
