On Wednesday 1st November, 2023, the United Repair Centre London (URC London) opened in Haringey. The new centre is the result of a collaboration between social impact companies United Repair Centre and Fashion-Enter, with outdoor clothing brand Patagonia. It will employ and train people who have challenges finding employment, such as those with refugee backgrounds, in high quality clothing repairs. With space for other brands to join Patagonia at the centre, its objective is transforming the apparel industry for the better.
At the launch the team welcomed press and industry to URC London for live demonstrations and panel discussions, along with drinks and networking.
