REPAIR

If you wear your favourite piece often and with pleasure, then repairs may be necessary from time to time. These small repairs are also called repainting or artificial darning. Repairing is an old craft that has become very rare, but is still practised at Marc Cain in Bodelshausen. Jasmina is an expert in this field. She has been working as a reproducer at Marc Cain for 8 years and is happy to share her expertise with you step by step. Tip: A catch needle is helpful for sewing short threads - this should be selected according to the thickness of the yarn and is available in shops for approx. €5-10.
