REPAIR & CARE
XANDRES GREEN FRIDAY
FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS, WE'VE PROUDLY SHOWCASED OUR REPAIR PROGRAM IN FULL SWING, WHEN WE DECIDED NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN BLACK FRIDAY BUT TO OFFER FREE REPAIRS INSTEAD. DURING THIS “GREEN FRIDAY” EVENT, WE INVITED OUR CUSTOMERS TO BRING XANDRES ITEMS IN NEED OF REPAIR TO ONE OF OUR STORES. WE AIM TO ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO CHERISH THEIR CLOTHES FOR LONGER, TO REDUCE THE URGE FOR CONSTANT, UNNECESSARY PURCHASES. DURING OUR LAST GREEN FRIDAY EVENT IN 2022, THE XANDRES TEAM WORKED WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO REPAIR AROUND 600 ITEMS.
WHAT DID XANDRES DO?
CLOSING THE STORES AND WEBSHOP ON BLACK FRIDAY
A lifelong repair of your clothes for free - we've been doing that for years. For Green Friday, we are highlighting that service. On that day, all employees, their families and residents of the local residential care centre come together to repair your clothes and attend workshops.
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
DON'T THROW AWAY DAMAGED CLOTHES BUT HAVE THEM REPAIRED BY XANDRES INSTEAD
Take good care of your clothes with these tips to make them last even longer:
#1 Don't wash your clothes too often, do not use fabric softener and wash at a low temperature. Don't overfill your washing machine.
#2 Dry your clothes on a drying rack but not in full sun. Knitwear is best dried flat.
#3 Use coat hangers with wide shoulders so your items keep their shape.

ALWAYS BEEN DOING
