Patch It Up!
To patch and mend in the past was a necessity. A darned
sock or re sewn teddy's eye conjures up fond thoughts and
memories of moments of use and abuse that lead to the current
state of repair.
Although mending processes were purely functional they created
uniqueness in the
object, the touch of the hand, a beauty not seen in the
mass production of today.
Alex Hannaford has created a product that turns the users
hand back to the days of
mending, yet alleviating some of the blood, sweat, and tears
that goes into hand
maintenance... A quick fix!
A range of patches will not only aid in the mending of an
otherwise throw away item,
they will give the user a sense of satisfaction in giving
their much loved items a chance to grow, evolve and gain
a second lease on life, the great Australian way.
