The Repair Factory

On the Swedish west coast, in the Gothenburg suburb of Angered, there is a garment factory unlike most others.

Fabrikörerna, is a repair facility, mending clothing and creating new garments from deadstock. What’s more, the people here don’t just come to work for sewing. They learn Swedish too. Tailors and seamstresses from around the world bring invaluable experience from their home countries and get help settling into their new home: Sweden.

We partner with Fabrikörerna to handle hundreds of ASKET repairs per month, on garments coming in from our Revival Program - the unwanted ASKET garments we buy back from you, repair and put back on sale at The Restore.
