Abstract
Within this contribution, we will present our exploration of designing engagements with mending practices by raising the question of how design can contribute to a new interpretation of mending as an activity in fashion that may cultivate other interests than the dominant market-driven fashion. Being a part of the green transition and in search of participating in it, it is our aim that such approaches can re-orient the present state of mending and encourage alternative mending futures. The question that has been driving us in our research exploration is: How might we use design to re-introduce mending as a practice of care and finding joy in already existing clothing?
