How We Work
Every heirloom begins with a Condition Assessment, where we examine:
-
fibre strength
-
weave structure
-
areas of risk
-
colour stability
-
metallic thread condition
-
historical or sentimental significance
We then recommend the most appropriate service — Refresh, Repair, or Restore — ensuring the textile receives exactly the level of care it needs.
