On the Mend

Invisible Menders of Knightsbridge

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).
