Splendid Stitches is London’s leading specialist vintage clothes alterations and repairs service, with a specific focus on clothing from the 1940’s to 1970’s. Splendid Stitches can do everything from changing a broken zip to resize a dress or add a new lining. Splendid Stitches will even make you an exact copy of a much loved vintage item if it is beyond rescue.

Splendid Stitches will use genuine vintage parts for repairs if you prefer, although we are not afraid to use new parts either. As vintage specialists, we know and understand that each item is unique and possibly rather delicate, and we treat each garment with utmost care and respect – as vintage clothes lovers ourselves, we know how important each individual piece of clothing is.

Our workshop is in Kentish Town in North London, but if you prefer us to come and visit you, do get in touch. We also run alteration and repair booths at a number of vintage fairs across London, and regularly run clothes surgeries and alteration classes. Sign up to our twitter feed, facebook page or newsletter in the ‘contact’ section for more details of where and when.
