STING SERVICE: REPAIR AS CRAFT

Based in Copenhagen, Sting Service brings new life to worn garments through hand-stitched repairs made with care and intention. Some pieces call for invisible mending, a quiet fix that blends seamlessly into the fabric. Others invite a more visible approach, where patches, embroidery, or reinforced knits become stylish details in their own right.

Denim repairs often draw on sashiko, a Japanese technique rooted in both durability and beauty. But the work spans far beyond denim: worn sweaters, vintage jackets, delicate knits, cotton dresses. Each piece is met with the same question: should this repair disappear, or should it stand out as something new and expressive?

What makes Sting Service special is the ability to find the right solution for every garment. Whether it’s matching yarn to recreate a missing knit stitch, or turning a hole into a small, decorative motif, the repair feels natural as if it was always meant to be there.

At its core, Sting Service is about more than fixing clothes. It’s about extending their life, celebrating their wear, and letting them carry on with even more character than before.
