Re-loved fashion, crafts and homewares
FIXation is an inspirational project with a retail shop and workshop on York Street, Russell. Its purpose is to prevent fabric from going to landfill by teaching and sharing skills to create garments and accessories that are useful and attractive, made from ‘nothing of value’.
It’s totally run by volunteers and all proceeds go to the local community.
