ACCEPTANCE & SAFETY

Preserving future safety
as carefully as the memories.

We review condition, available area, and intended use to propose a form that can be used safely for years. Depending on the textile, we may decline the request or suggest another use.

WHAT WE CHECK

What we inspect in person

After reviewing photos, we inspect the actual textile before making a final decision.

Material strength

We check age-related deterioration, weakened fibers, tears, abrasion, and areas around seams.

Cleanliness

We check stains, odors, mold, and other conditions that may affect making or use.

Usable area

We confirm whether enough material remains for the desired form, including patterns and details you wish to preserve.

Use & load

We prioritize whether the specification can be used safely given how it will be worn and the load involved.

IMPORTANT

When we cannot accept a request or must change its use

A textile whose safety or cleanliness cannot be confirmed cannot be made into the requested item. Baby products and load-bearing uses require particular caution.

  • Insufficient strength
    When fibers are significantly deteriorated or damaged
  • Hygiene concerns
    When the issue cannot be resolved during making
  • Uses whose safety cannot be confirmed
    Baby products or specifications involving substantial loads

WHAT CAN CONTINUE

When the whole textile cannot be used.

Usable textile

We avoid damaged areas and use sound sections for small goods or other suitable pieces.

Parts

Distinctive elements such as rings, tags, and embroidery may continue in the next piece.

Remnants

At the estimate stage, we confirm return or possible additional making according to the amount remaining.

Memory

We consider ways to document the original form and background so its story remains with the finished piece.

Not every textile or part can always be reused. We inspect the actual piece and explain what can realistically continue.

CONSULTATION

If you are unsure, begin with photos.

You do not need to know the material name or exact size. Send photos of the whole textile, tags, and any areas of concern.
