Hello! If you think ‘Mulch and the Broken Thing’ sounds a bit like it’s come out of a story book then that’s great. Repairing your clothing and kit makes every piece unique with its own tale to tell. And like the Japanese art of using gold to mend cracks in pottery, it’s a celebration.
‘Mulch and the Broken Thing’ is an outdoor clothing and kit repair workshop based in Sheffield. Keeping things going, reducing landfill and saving money for your next trip. Zip replacements, new baffle panels or cuffs in a jacket, boulder pad repairs, a seat patch in your favourite shorts or long pants, rucksacks and tents…
My name is Anna Chapman and over the last eight years I’ve been able to combine my love of being in the outdoors; climbing, camping and snowboarding, with my love of stitching, mending and making. Having been previously repairing stuff for a couple of fantastic outdoor companies I set up Mulch and the Broken Thing in 2020. Being outdoors or in a workshop is where I feel most at home so I feel very lucky indeed to have found myself here. Thanks for taking the time to check out Mulch. Please have a look at my instagram and facebook pages and maybe give a like and a follow.
