Embraced by experience

We believe that garments with experience are sought-after currency. Simply through their existence, they showcase the power of experience, having been tested and trusted time and time again. They are almost like a guarantee of comfort and long-term quality.

 

Finding textiles that stand the test of time isn’t easy. It requires more than just finding the right fit; it demands an understanding of experienced tailoring to meet real-world usage. At Lindström, we embrace the experiences. Our aim is for every textile to embody a journey, gaining character and resilience with each use. With us, you are not just choosing workwear; you are choosing a lifestyle. A service to cater for your textile needs while you focus on what you do best.

 

Each piece is designed to have history. Once the textiles have served their purpose, we offer them a chance to reinvent themselves beyond their initial use. For us, every experience is worth celebrating.

Each garment has its own journey

Clothes don't belong in the trash

Let your textiles continue their lives as something meaningful, useful, or beautiful!

 

Here’s some of our best tips for how you at home can extend the life of textiles. Why don’t you share yours as well?

Patch it up
Small tears or holes? Maybe your clothing just needs some first aid, for example using iron-on patches or basic stitching to reinforce weak spots. Patching doesn’t just repair—it can add personality to your garment with fun colours or shapes.

Protective pouch or laptop sleeve
Repurpose durable fabrics from old trousers or jackets to create a padded sleeve for your laptop, tablet, or pouch for small bits and pieces. It’s functional, protective, and personalised!

Zero-waste gift wrap
Instead of paper, use old scarves, T-shirts, or fabric remnants to wrap gifts. This "furoshiki" style wrap is reusable, kind to the environment, and adds a unique twist to gift-giving.

Reusable shopping bag
Turn an old shirt or sturdy fabric into a reusable shopping bag. With basic sewing, you can cut and stitch the material into a durable bag that’s perfect for groceries.

Swap and share
Organize or participate in clothing swap events to exchange pre-loved clothes and discover new treasures.

Aprons for gardening or cooking
Old trousers, tablecloths, or curtains easily transform into apron, perfect for cooking, painting, or gardening without worrying about getting dirty.

Upcycled fashion accessories
Use scraps from old fabrics to make stylish headbands, scrunchies, or belts. Even small pieces of fabric can become trendy accessories with a few simple cuts and stitches.

Drink coasters
Cut thick, durable fabric into small squares or circles, layer them for thickness, and sew together to create reusable coasters that protect surfaces from hot or cold drinks. Durable and thick fabric can also be made into coasters for hot pots and pans.

Memory quilts
Gather fabric from old garments with sentimental value (like baby clothes, travel T-shirts, or family hand-me-downs) to create a memory quilt. Each piece tells a story, turning old clothes into a memory.

Eye masks for sleeping
Use soft, dark fabric to sew a custom eye mask for better sleep. Add a bit of padding for extra comfort, and you’ll have a cosy, useful accessory for bedtime or travel.

Braided fabric baskets
Cut old T-shirts, jeans, or other sturdy fabrics into long strips. Braid the strips together, then coil the braid into a circular shape, stitching as you go to hold the coils in place. This creates a thick, durable basket that’s perfect for storing small items like keys, toiletries, or toys.
