Why should I dye/re-dye my clothes?
Not only are you helping to keep landfills free from perfectly useful clothing items (save our planet!) but you're also saving your money by not having to re-buy. We know ... it's fun to buy new things but sometimes you just don't have to ! Those perfect jeans that make your butt look fabulous are a little faded but could be rich black again !
How much does it cost?
The cost varies depending on the item, the weight and the difficulty...we will give you a quote before we start but to get and idea, click HERE

How long does it take?
Under normal circumstances, you will receive your item back in 5 business days.
Do you mend or do alterations?
Yes we do! small fixes and alterations are available with an additional cost.
Are dyes and the dyeing process eco-friendly?
From the material safety data provided by our supplier, our dye poses no threat to you or your environment: it is neither toxic nor environmentally hazardous and does not contain heavy metals.
The dyeing process does use an extra amount of water during the rinsing process and there is a small amount of residual dye in the waste water but we are continually searching for more efficient methods.
The frequent disposal and replacement of garments is however a problem for the environment. Any garment whose dye fades quickly may be discarded sooner, resulting in a greater cost to the environment when the garment is replaced.
Please feel free to contact us with your thoughts or for a copy of our environmental info.
We expect excellent results and use the highest quality dyes but it is important to keep in mind that not all items are suitable for our dye process and we might need to refuse a project...
When a garment or fabric is received, we will inspect it. We will do our very best to advise you of our expected results and if we feel that it will not dye well or will be damaged during the process, we will advise you of our concerns and/or suggestions prior to processing.
DISCLAIMER
Not all results can be predicted - age, condition and fibre content can influence results
- fibres may not allow dye to adhere and/or penetrate due to prior dyeing and/or finishing procedures
- stains and/or spots treated by customer or cleaner prior to dyeing may produce inconsistent results
- thread, zipper fabric or trim used in garment may not accept dye
- buttons will not dye unless fabric covered with same fabric as garment
Please know that fabric content on label is usually accurate but not always
Depending on garment, shrinkage may be half a size or more
