Jaqkodí: Wardrobe Repair & Alteration Course

Jaqkodí Sustainability Series

Wardrobe Repair & Alteration Course

We invite you into the Jaqkodí Studio, East London, for a refined, small group wardrobe repair and alteration course. Across three sessions, you’ll work on your own three garments from your wardrobe, learning to alter, tack, and untack with confidence.

Hosted by Jaqkodí and led by one of our fashion designers, the altelier offers a slowed, immersive environment designed to honour both process and detail. The atmosphere is thoughtfully curated; from sound to setting; creating space to focus, learn and create with intention.

Early access places are available at a reduced rate of £375. With just four spaces available, this intimate course allows for individual attention and a supportive, creative atmosphere. A deposit of £187.50 reserves your place within the group, with the remaining balance of £187.50 due by Monday 27th April. A secure payment link will be shared by this date.

We look forward to welcoming you into the studio.
