We work with clothing that deserves a second life, from everyday pieces to vintage and sentimental garments. Every project starts with a close assessment of the fabric, construction, and the fit you want to achieve.

About the Studio
Garment Remodelling with Care
Kourou Stitchworks reshapes garments through careful alterations, redesign, and fabric reuse.
Our approach is practical and transparent. We discuss what the garment can support, confirm the concept before any additional work, and finish with a fit check at collection.

A few notes from customers who brought in garments for redesign, fit updates, and finishing checks.
They gave me a realistic completion date after checking the fabric and construction, and they contacted me when the garment was ready to try on.

They reused the strongest parts of my original garment and made the limits of the existing fabric clear before I approved the work.

Upcycling customer
My finished garment was checked again at collection, and a small final adjustment was handled carefully without changing the agreed design.
