Sustainability

In a world dominated by fast fashion, where clothes are discarded quickly, we believe in something different—we believe in slowing down, mending with intention, and making what we wear last. Visible mending is more than just repair—it’s an act of care and creativity. Inspired by the Japanese art of Sashiko, we embrace the beauty of worn fabrics, turning rips, tears, and frayed edges into something intentional and meaningful. Rather than hiding imperfections, we highlight them!
By repairing and upcycling, we reduce textile waste, extend the life of our clothing, conserve resources and slow down fashion’s impact on the planet. Sustainability doesn’t mean sacrificing style—it means reimagining what’s already in your closet. Whether it’s reviving a well-loved jacket with hand-stitched embroidery or giving a secondhand find a new purpose, every repaired piece is a step toward a more thoughtful, sustainable wardrobe. Sustainability is woven into everything we do. From upcycled clothing to handcrafted repair kits, we make it easier to extend the life of your wardrobe and embrace slow fashion. Through our workshops, we teach the skills to mend, stitch, and transform—empowering our community to take fashion into their own hands. Fast fashion tells us that new is always better. We believe that what you already have is worth keeping, it just needs a little mending!
At Socorro Society, we encourage a slower, more thoughtful approach to fashion. Through our handmade and upcycled pieces, workshops, social content, and community, we invite you to take part in a movement that values craftsmanship, sustainability, and storytelling—one stitch at a time.
