You know the feeling that suddenly there is a hole in your nice jeans, and your once warm sweater or new pants need to be shortened. Don’t panic! The right tailor can solve it for you. This way, you don’t have to say goodbye to your favourite garment and can enjoy it for years.
The City of Amsterdam has come up with a solution. Did you know you can get your clothes repaired with a 40% discount if you have an Amsterdam City Pass (Stadspas) with a green dot? You can do this at about 28 different repair shops across the city. Anyone can have their clothes repaired at these repair shops, but the discount only applies to Stadspas holders, the people who need the discount the most.
What is the City Pass?
The Amsterdam City Pass (or ‘Stadspas’ in Dutch) is a pass that Amsterdammers with a low income or little wealth can apply for free to receive discounts on sports and cultural activities. There is a distinction between a pass with a green dot (for people with a low income or little wealth) and a blue check (for people with an AOW benefit). The clothing repair action is available to holders of a City Pass with a green dot.
The Campaign and Conditions
The promotion is valid throughout the year. With the City Pass, you receive a 40% discount on repairs at the 28 tailors below if:
- The repair costs a maximum of €25,- in total
- The clothing is washed and cleaned beforehand
- You are older than 14 years
- The promotion is only valid for repairing clothing, not shoes or interior items such as curtains. The promotion is also not suitable for dry cleaning.
This initiative was created in cooperation with the European Reflow project. This project aims to prevent textile waste and stimulate reuse. We throw away more than 10 kilos of textile per person annually with the residual waste.
