Why this card
In 2026, major fast fashion retailers began mainstreaming the sale of visibly mended clothing. By 2041, the cultural shift has transformed retail districts into hubs of repair and customization rather than disposable consumption. High streets now thrive on local ateliers where garments are proudly and creatively patched, keeping textiles out of landfills and elevating mending to a celebrated art form.
