Sandra Zomer did an amazing repair
Sandra Zomer did an amazing job at repairing my Michael Kors puffer coat. The rip wasn’t even on a seam and the patch repair is hardly noticeable. Very impressive. Good price, fast service. Thank you!
Laura ter Kulie did an amazing job
Laura ter Kuile did an amazing job repair my knitwear that eaten by moths and a leather jacket that had ripped. I really appreciated how quick the repairs were done. I am so happy I can wear these pieces again.
Trainers restored with mended stitching
Paola Zappulla did an amazing job on my trainers and stitching where the stitching had come loose. A really good job with very good service and great communication along the way. far better to fix than throw away snd I would use this company again because it was excellent

The Seam has been fantastic in restoring a couple of bags and a pair of jeans for me this year. Their repair work is outstanding, and I appreciate the clarity in their pricing and quotes. Communication is seamless, and they are very responsive and accessible. It's wonderful to have my items back in use and looking great!
Selina Latour let her artistry run free…
Selina Latour let her artistry run free with some spectacular, unique, refined and practical fixes to a favourite Icelandic jumper to allow it another 30years of abuse. A really pleased customer at this end, thank you so much for your courteous attentions! I have two more which will no doubt need some tlc at some point in the future so I hope to be in touch then. Thank you!! 😃🤩
Poor results and worse customer service
I’m sure if the service received was great that it would be worth 5 stars, but - as another complainant on here has said - should anything go wrong, or the service be sub par, then the customer service is appalling. I had the misfortune of sending my dresses to someone who missed fixing a hem, poorly fixed a tear so it was still visible and looked ‘botched’, and returned the third dress with the tear still in it. I was overcharged (nominally as she couldn’t seem to calculate VAT), and then asked to collect goods when I’d already paid postage. All in all a poor experience. When I wrote to customer services to ask for a refund on the dress that had been sent back unfixed they told me to just speak to the fixer. I’m not throwing good money after bad to send the dress back. Despite follow-ups, my emails are ignored. I just want a refund. I would never use this company again and nor would I recommend it. Just go to a local place where they can help.

Reply from The Seam
Over the past few years
Over the past few years, I've relied on The Seam multiple times for repair and alteration of various pieces. Each experience has been marked by outstanding service and exceptional craftsmanship. Despite not being the most economical option, it's truly rewarding to see a cherished item revived instead of discarded. I highly recommend their services.
Sooooo happy to have found The Seam and…
Sooooo happy to have found The Seam and the great women that work at the Westfield branch in Stratford, they are kind and attentive and reassured me on how everything was going to get fixed/altered etc and the job was excellent. Very happy 😊
My best discovery of the past two…
My best discovery of the past two years. I’ve returned many times over for the flawless service. Just makes life easier. It’s endlessly useful to everyone, but if you’re short in height and everything is too long, The Seam is an absolute must.
Simple!
A very simple process to get an excellent quality repair to my winter coat. Thanks 🙏
New lease of life for beloved bags
Fast responses, easy to contact, great communication, really clear pricing and options on quotes, and brilliant repair work. The Seam have repaired and restored two bags and a pair of jeans for me this year, and I'm loving being able to use them all again.
Very Satisfied customer
Camilla in Bournemouth repaired a favourite skirt of mine that had been attacked by moths, she made a wonderful job jand I would Highly recommend The Seam to anyone.
I will be able to wear my skirt again instead of throwing it away. Well done Camilla.
Nicole Akong did a brilliant repair job…
Nicole Akong did a brilliant repair job on my very fine knit cashmere jumper which had several moth holes. In fact she discovered quite a few more holes than the 4 I had found - and communicated well with me to show me the additional holes and to propose variously priced options for dealing with them. I’m very impressed and would heartily recommend the seam & Nicole. A delight to deal with.
Excellent service and work done to mend…
Excellent service and work done to mend hole in a much loved woollen sweater undertaken by Lyudmilla. Great communication and looks as good as new now!
Good as new
My Merino wool jumper had been nibbled at by a moth and Lyudmilla had it looking brand new! - over the moon with the work
I LOVE The Seam
I LOVE The Seam ! This time I used Sandra based in Blackheath to mend a pair of Roland Mouret trousers which had a hole in the seam. Not only did she repair them super fast she also did an amazing job - you can hardly see the repair. This is such a good company and I only have had great experiences from handbag repairs to dress alterations. Highly recommend!
Katarina fixed my bags
Katarina Mootich fixed two of my leather designer bags. She was quick to reply, reasonably priced and returned the items earlier than expected. The craftsmanship is high quality, you can’t even tell the bags needed repair. Will use her again!
Tamsin Lines has done an excellent job…
Tamsin Lines has done an excellent job on 2 costs with moth holes. Everything was so easy to do and the payment system was very straightforward. Sent the coats on Monday afternoon and were returned to me Thursday morning. Thank you for an excellent job.
Fantastic alteration
Fantastic alteration by Diana White. Much appreciated.
Brilliant service
I have used The Seam to have several items repaired or altered over the last couple of years and every time I have had excellent service and brilliant quality workmanship. I would definitely recommend. While not the cheapest, it’s worth it to see a loved item restored and stop it ending up in landfill!
