Repair

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.

The Repair Bonus, along with all actions carried out under the Repair Fund, is fully financed by producers, with the objective of transforming everyday consumption practices.
