At Farthings Cambridge and Trumpington, we offer one of the best dry cleaning services in Cambridge and specialise in expert alterations and repairs to help you make the most of your wardrobe.
Did you know that in the UK alone, around 300,000 tonnes of clothing are in landfills or incinerated annually? That’s a shocking amount of waste, especially when so many garments could be repaired, altered, or restyled instead.
A recent Netflix documentary, "Buy Now", exposes the dark side of fast fashion, showing how discarded clothes from the West are piling up on beaches in Ghana, polluting local communities and harming the planet. It’s a wake-up call for all of us to rethink how we treat our clothing.
Why throw it away when you can transform it?
Think of all those beautiful garments sitting in your wardrobe that don’t quite fit, are slightly damaged, or just need a little updating. Instead of discarding them, bring them to Farthings, and our skilled seamstress can work wonders.
✔ Clothing Alterations & Repairs – We can fix almost any fabric from suits and dresses to casual wear and even household textiles like curtains.
✔ Leather & Synthetic Repairs – Don’t assume an item isn’t worth repairing! Our experts can advise you on what’s possible.
Three reasons to choose alterations over throwing clothes away:
Save Money – Professional repairs and changes are often far cheaper than replacing a quality, long-lasting item.
Feel Good – There’s nothing better than wearing a beloved piece again or reviving your favourite curtains!
Help the Environment – Reducing waste means lowering your carbon footprint and keeping textiles from landfills.
So before you say goodbye to that dress, jacket, or pair of trousers—why not see if we can give it a new lease of life?
Let’s make fashion more sustainable—one garment at a time.
