It’s important to repair signs of wear quickly to avoid further deterioration. Small repairs are easy to do and can prevent costly repairs later on.
Snagged loops in terry
If you notice a snagged loop in your terry fabric, such as in a towel, bathrobe, or bathmat, avoid pulling on it, as this can cause the weave to unravel. Instead, carefully trim the loop with a pair of scissors. This simple step helps preserve the structure of the terry material and extends the life of your terry pieces.
Loose buttons
If a button is loose, you can reinforce it by wrapping thread around the existing threads between the button and the fabric, then securing it with a knot. This will gather and strengthen the attachment. Alternatively, you may choose to remove the existing thread entirely and reattach the button with fresh thread.
If a button has come off and is no longer available, and no spare was included with your purchase, please contact our customer care team. They will be happy to assist you.
Holes
It’s important to fix holes quickly before they grow larger.
For fabrics with a tight weave – like poplin or percale – and small holes, sew the sides together using a matching coloured thread. Trap any fraying edges within the stitch to prevent any further damage.
If the weave of the fabric is open like linen or the hole is large, interface – a lightweight fabric that adheres to fabric with heat – can be ironed onto the reverse of the fabric before stitching. Alternatively, a small patch of similar fabric can be sewn onto the back of the hole.
Unravelled seams
If a seam starts to unravel, avoid pulling on loose threads—this can cause further damage. Instead, trim any excess thread and secure the area with a few stitches if possible. Acting early helps prevent the seam from opening further and extends the life of your textiles.
