With a commitment to handcrafted care, Alterknit offers repair solutions for garments made from animal fibres like wool, cashmere, and alpaca, helping customers restore and extend the life of their clothing.

The company employs techniques such as reknitting, darning, and reweaving to repair knitwear, ensuring the restoration of damaged garments.

In addition to repair services, Alterknit provides cleaning and de-pilling options, as well as add-ons like leather patches and trims, with a focus on preserving the original quality of each piece.

With an emphasis on sustainability, Alterknit encourages customers to repair rather than discard damaged clothing, reducing textile waste and promoting eco-friendly fashion.

By extending the lifespan of garments, Alterknit believes it helps reduce textile waste, making it an environmentally conscious choice for clothing care.

The company's services are ideal for high-quality brands such as Loro Piana, Hermès, and The Elder Statesman, ensuring that luxury garments are restored to their original beauty.

The company also offers services for woven fabrics, such as suits and coats, expanding its expertise beyond knitwear.

Alterknit operates primarily through secure shipping for nationwide customers. Local clients in select New York City areas can also benefit from convenient pickup services.

In August, Marks & Spencer (M&S) partnered with clothing repair and alterations provider SOJO to offer repair services to its UK customers as it unveils a new circularity identity – Plan A – Another Life, across its retail stores, website and app.
