On the Mend

You’re an accomplished soul. (You cook. You type. You sing. You can even add and subtract.)

But when it comes to sewing, you’re as skilled as a surgeon with a hammer.

Invisible Menders of Knightsbridge will rescue the most damaged of clothing. The place is run by Nina Rayit and her sidekick, Nana Mann — both genius seamstresses who pride themselves on their loyal (Simon Cowell, James Hewitt) and sometimes royal (Fergie, Beatrice and Eugenie) clientele.

They’ll repair anything — be it a rip in your shirt or a cigarette burn in your ballgown — and they’ll do it in record time.

As for that complimentary sewing kit you enthusiastically swiped from the hotel bathroom?

It can hide in your washbag a little longer.


Invisible Menders of Knightsbridge, 161 Gloucester Road, SW7 4TH (020 7373 0514).
