"Even if your favorite shirt is torn at the collar, I'll fix it... Like they did before, no need to buy a new one."
An exciting new creation on Hemnesberget is Kvitnes Systudio. Here we meet Bente-Lill Drage Kvitnes, who is a trained clothing designer and has worked with repairs and alterations in Oslo since 2005. With a wealth of experience and knowledge in her suitcase, she moved home to Hemnes, and established a business that we can all enjoy.
Do you have a pair of trousers, shirt, dress, jacket, suit or national costume that can be repaired? Or lampshades and other forms of interior sewing? Not just old, damaged things. It can also be about wrong purchases we have made, which with a little adjustment can be really good. Last but not least, do we perhaps have fabrics, buttons and the like that can be reused in completely new products?
The possibilities are many, and help us consume less and preserve more. In addition, Bente-Lill accepts orders for custom tailoring of clothing, wedding dresses, christening dresses, national costumes and Sami costumes.
In short, in the premises in Sørlandsvegen we find a small oasis of creative excellence – where clothes and other things we love can be given new life.
