Facts
Why Open
Visibly repairing textiles is a centuries-old, multicultural practice with no single founding date. The named contemporary movement has at least two separate candidate re-emergences credited to it: Vivienne Westwood's 1970s punk patches, and the COVID-19-era craft revival. The sources consulted do not settle which one, if either, is the movement's actual starting point. 1
What Would Resolve
A history of the term's own coinage or first organized use (a magazine feature, a workshop series, a hashtag's documented origin) that clearly predates or postdates one of the two candidate re-emergences would settle which one is the movement's real starting point. 1
