A clothing repair school in France’s former textile capital gives garments a second life.
Fighting fashion waste while offering a stepping stone to those far from the job market: that is the mission of the Ecole de la Réparation, which opened in September in northern Roubaix.
The school is training its inaugural class of 20 students in the in-demand skills of sewing and shoe repair.

TIL: Don't use Araldite to repair skates. It's not flexible enough and makes the problem worse when it breaks. Sigh. ☹️
Can anyone recommend better glue that can take the compression and strain?

A lot of my friends have used #MaineShoeRepair services to repair well-worn shoes and boots!
#Maine: #Cobblers and #RepairShops see shift in consumer habits to fix what's broken
Story by Caroline LeCour, March 22, 2025
"While modern consumer habits may drive a lot of people to simply replace things that have fallen into disrepair, there are many in Maine who are instead choosing to fix items that are broken.
"Steven Foss, owner of Maine Shoe Repair in #SouthPortlandME, said he has noticed a change in quality of materials of shoes over the past 38 years he's been in business.
"'Back in the day, all of the shoes were sewn on. Glued and sewn on. Now, the majority of them are just glued,' Foss said.
"He said the change in manufacturing highlights a shift in quality that has altered both his work and the shoe industry at large. Foss is one of only a few cobblers left in Maine, and he is committed offering affordable repair services, despite rising supply and equipment costs."
