Your clothes deserve a second shot. So do your skills. In collab with WWF Market, we set up shop at the Fix & Play Store inside Kanyon Shopping Mall—but this wasn’t just another retail pop-up. It was a full-blown maker zone where people could roll up their sleeves, fix faulty textile products, and learn how to keep fashion slow, creative, and circular.
We believe "defective" is just another word for one-of-a-kind.
Our workshop space was armed with everything from sewing machines and needle punch kits to heat press units and hand tools. Visitors could move freely across 4 different stations to try out:
🪡 Manual repair with hand tools
🧵 Machine sewing for the fix-it pros
🪡 Needle punch embroidery for the crafty ones
🔥 Textile printing with heat press—because DIY = style
Throughout the day, we shared tips, tricks, and a whole lot of glue. This wasn’t about patching holes—it was about sparking a new mindset. Fixing is a form of self-expression. And every stitch is a small act of rebellion against fast fashion.
