Skiwear lasts longer with social enterprise partnership
European customers of French skiwear brand Perfect Moment will be able to send their clothes to be repaired for free through a partnership with United Repair Centre.
In addition to providing replacement zips, poppers and patching, United Repair Centre also offers a cleaning service for down items.
Perfect Moment creative officer Jane Gottschalk said: “With Perfect for Longer, we’re offering our customers a way to preserve their favourite ski wear while reinforcing our ongoing commitment to a sustainable way of living.”
Social enterprise United Repair offers employment and training in garment repair to marginalised communities, extends the life of garments and reduces textile waste.
The Perfect Moment brand was launched in 1984 in the mountains of Chamonix, France, and was relaunched by Max and Jane Gottschalk in 2012.
