The small things.

Zippers replaced. Buttons re-sewn. Linings. The unglamorous work that keeps a good garment alive.

Walk-ins welcome. 3801 Kirby Dr, Upper Kirby. Doing this since 1998.

01What we do

Worth fixing.

A good garment with a broken zipper is still a good garment. Most of what gets thrown away could have been repaired for far less than replacing it, and repaired properly it does not come back.

This is quiet work and we do a lot of it. Bring the pile that has been sitting in the closet because each piece needs one small thing.

02What it costs

Bring it in. We will tell you.

It depends on the garment and what it needs, and we would rather look at it than guess at it over the phone.

We will tell you what it needs, what it will cost, and when it will be ready. If it is not worth doing, we will tell you that too, and we will not charge you for the opinion.

Walk-ins welcome. 3801 Kirby Dr, Suite 100, Upper Kirby.

Not the right page?

Everything wearable comes over the same bench. Pick the garment, or just bring it in and let us look at it.

06Questions

Questions people ask.

Can you replace a broken zipper?
Yes. Zippers in trousers, dresses, jackets and skirts can be replaced rather than coaxed along. Replaced properly, the zipper does not fail again.
Is it worth repairing an old garment?
Often, yes. Most of what gets thrown away could be repaired for far less than replacing it. Bring it in and we will tell you honestly whether it is worth doing.
Do you re-sew buttons and fix linings?
Yes. Buttons and clasps re-sewn, linings repaired or replaced, seams and tears mended. The small work that keeps a good garment alive.
