Repair by Rang

Structural & Embellishment Repair for Damaged Heirlooms

Repair by Rang is designed for heirlooms that carry visible damage — tears, weakened zones, frayed borders, missing motifs, heat‑affected areas, or sections damaged by burning or accidental exposure to heat sources. This service focuses on structural integrity, weave repair, and embellishment reconstruction, while preserving the textile’s original character and emotional value.

It is ideal for sarees, odhanas, shawls, dupattas, menswear, and ceremonial garments that need careful intervention without full restoration.

⭐ What Repair by Rang Includes

1. Structural Stabilisation

Reinforcing weakened areas, securing loose warps and wefts, and stabilising tears using conservation‑aligned stitches and compatible materials.

2. Weave Repair, Loss Support & Burn Damage Treatment

• Rebuilding small areas of missing weave

• Supporting losses with colour‑matched underlays

• Strengthening fragile zones

• Treating heat‑damaged or lightly burnt areas by trimming charred fibres, stabilising weakened edges, and supporting the affected zone with compatible materials

• Reconstructing scorch‑affected motifs or borders where possible

3. Border & Pallu Reconstruction

Recreating damaged or missing borders, pallus, or edging using historically accurate techniques and materials.

4. Motif Re‑Creation & Embellishment Recovery

Rebuilding missing motifs, repairing lifted embroidery, and restoring dori, marodi, gota, and zardozi work using period‑appropriate methods.

5. Zari & Metallic Thread Reinforcement

Securing loose metallic threads, stabilising oxidised or brittle zari, and reconstructing missing sections with hand‑twisted metallic thread where appropriate.

6. Finishing & Drape Correction

Ensuring the textile regains its intended drape, weight balance, and wearability after structural repairs.
