Kowtow Repair

Cherished clothes deserve to last a lifetime, so every Kowtow garment comes with the promise of free repair for all Collective Members.

Extending the life of your most loved garments is the perfect way to break the use and discard cycle of the linear fashion model.
Subtle and purposeful repair techniques can help favourite items live with you longer, adding character and value.

Since the inception of our repair program in 2018, our in-house team have repaired over 1500 garments.


In Australia we work with our partners, The Social Studio to complete our repairs.

    We know mending something yourself can be a daunting task so if that’s not for you, send it to us or drop it in-store. Kowtow Repair is a free service for Collective members.

  • We’ll Repair It

    Once we receive your garment, our partners at The Social Studio will repair it for you, then we'll send it back to you.
