FabRebel chooses to repair, not throw away

We believe that every piece of clothing deserves a second chance – and that each of us has the power to make a difference. FabRebels are people who choose to repair, not throw away. Together, we make visible the everyday actions that matter – for the environment, for communities, and for the future.

FabRebels are people who follow their own path – in daily life and in adventure. They bike to work, scramble through forest trails, travel with a backpack, and shift effortlessly between everyday life and celebration. What they share is a desire to live more sustainably, to repair smartly, and to walk lightly through the world – with clothes that are patched and loved.

FabRebels don’t wait for change. They create it themselves, one patch, one choice, one example at a time. They show that an active life and responsible clothing choices go hand in hand – and that a repaired garment can continue to be part of life’s small and big moments.

Have you repaired a beloved garment with FabPatch? Is there a story or memory connected to it – or to the moment you repaired it? We’d love to hear it!
