Repairing to extend
the service life of clothing and footwear
In 2024, Refashion confirmed the momentum around textile and footwear repair.
Repair is a key lever to extend the lifespan of products.
Following the launch of the Repair Bonus in November 2023, the first full year of the scheme has been a success, with over 550,000 products repaired through the program. The number of certified repairers exceeded expectations, reflecting the profession’s strong engagement and the development of a structured network across the country. On the consumer side, enthusiasm remained high, proving that repair can become a widespread habit.

To support this growing momentum, Refashion stepped up its actions in 2024: Promoting skills and craftsmanship, developing educational tools, supporting professionals… and launching a unique event tour, the “Refashion Académie,” held in three cities across France.
The goal: to engage directly with citizens and mobilize local, non-certified repairers in order to strengthen the territorial network.
