Repair and renew: cobblers and tailors!

Repairing your favorite pair of shoes or a well-worn article of clothing is a wonderful way to hang on to the items you really love. It’s also greener than buying new, and often quite inexpensive. For example, it may cost just $5 each to repair a torn strap on a leather purse or clean and shine up a pair of dress boots. There are some talented cobblers and tailors in Maine, and we encourage you to seek them out. Find those old, worn favorites still hanging around your closet, and bring them in for some loving care.
