Repair before you replace
Allude's "Repair before you replace" masterclass is an innovative educational initiative that aims to teach sustainable fashion techniques such as artful darning and the proper care of cashmere knitwear. Since its founding in 1993, Allude has been dedicated to crafting exquisite cashmere knitwear. Since 2015, Allude has operated the Allude Cashmere Clinic, where knitwear from all brands, with a minimum cashmere content of 30%, is cared for and repaired.
In this masterclass, our knitting experts and darning specialists share their knowledge about cashmere and its preservation.
This masterclass is part of our commitment to extending the lifespan of cashmere products by prioritizing care and repair over replacement.
