Sin! Far too many broken clothes in the wardrobe<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A survey by UK textile organisation WRAP has found that 30% of people have garments hanging in their wardrobes that they no longer wear, simply because they need repair. Bummer! In France, the government is going to help people. Here, you get (up to) 25 euros discount on repairs (and pay an extra tax for a fast fashion purchase) in the hope that it will encourage people to repair clothes more often. In the Netherlands, we have to make do with initiatives such as United Repair Center<\/a>, mended.eu<\/a> (send in your repairs and get it returned fixed) or the local tailor - which we absolutely welcome, but more is always better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shop hook in clothing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A shop hook is a tear in woven fabric in the shape of a right angle. A completely vanished rectangular section of fabric due to tearing is also called a shop hook, according to Wikipedia. The tear occurs because force is applied to one point of the fabric. As a result, the tear has the shape of a right angle. Once the tear is created, it can quickly become much larger, because each individual thread of the fabric is weak in itself. In short, you should not stick around with a shop hook.<\/p>\n\n\n
