Nimble Patch

Broken children's jeans are given new life.

Nimble Patch gives new life to broken children's jeans that cannot be sold second hand. With reinforcing material on the knees and leg ends with a closure function, the jeans can be extended and grow with the child. The jeans last longer and can be worn by more people. The end product is a pair of children's pants that lasts a long time - both in terms of quality and from a sustainability perspective.

Part of the collaboration between Wargön Innovation and Nimble Patch involves sorting broken children's jeans from the residual streams of textile products that cannot be resold on the Swedish second-hand market. The broken jeans are then given a new life through reinforcements on the knees using either extra durable fabric or patches from other second-hand jeans.

Nimble Patch is supported by Wargön Innovation through the project Innovation Environment for Sustainable Production and Circular Flows, a project funded by the European Regional Development Fund, Region Västra Götaland, Vänersborg Municipality and Fyrbodal Municipal Association.
