Your favourite blouse with a tear of despair is no longer a loss. It can be part of the Golden Joinery Collection. Each garment of this collection has a unique, beautiful golden scar. During this workshop you can fix your own beloved, damaged or strained, garments with a golden tread and therewith participate in the brand.

"There's a crack in everything, that's where the light comes in." (Leonard Cohen)

Golden Joinery is an initiative by the fashion collective Painted. The project sprang from the ancient Japanese repair technique Kintsugi, where broken pottery was mended with gold. Beauty and value was added by the reparation. Touched by the love of this kind of imperfect beauty, Painted translate this ancient principle to fashion. They have a strong wish to connect people more with the clothes they wear.
