Green Tip of the Day

Clothing Repair

Take worn out shoes to a cobbler to fix the soles or holes. Repairing is cheaper and averts the resources needed to make new shoes.

Take the designer dress that you ripped to a tailor instead of to the landfill.

New heels for your shoes or a skirt hem stitch up usually cost around $12 - way less than new.

Note: some cobblers do handbags and luggage too.
  • Search for a cobbler or tailor here, or ask your dry cleaner for recommendations.
