      DESCRIPTION

      Joyful Mending shows you how to fix old items of clothing, linens and household objects by turning tears and flaws into beautiful features.Simply by applying a few easy sewing, darning, felting, or crocheting techniques, as well as some sashiko and other favorite embroidery stitches, you can repair your favorite pieces in a transformative way. These techniques don't just save you money, but make your life more joyful, fulfilling and sustainable in an age of disposable fast fashion."Author Noriko Misumi teaches you her philosophy of mending and reusing items based on the age-old Japanese concepts of mindfulness and Wabi Sabi (an appreciation of old and imperfect things). In her book, she shows you how to:- Repair any kind of fabric that is torn, ripped or stained-whether knitted or woven- Work with damaged flat or curved surfaces to make them aesthetically pleasing again- Create repairs that blend in, as well as bold or whimsical visible repairs- Darn your handmade or expensive gloves, sweaters and socks to make them look great againThe joy to be found in working with your hands and the personal artistry you discover within yourself lie at the heart of this book. While nothing lasts forever, there's pleasure, as well as purpose, in appreciating age and imperfection. Joyful Mending allows you to surround yourself with the things that truly give you joy, whether they were given to you by a loved one, picked up in your travels or simply have a special place in your heart.

      Seven years, 130 brands, 3,000 products — only the top performers make ourshelves.

      I built Pretty Clean Shop after discovering that the “natural” products in my own home weren’t actually safe or sustainable. Hidden toxins. Non-recyclable packaging. Empty promises. So I did what the industry hoped no one would do.

      I investigated ingredients. Challenged chemists. What remained is this shop — a place where every product earns its place through integrity, durability, and real-world performance.

      Any questions?

      How is your clean beauty different?

      We personally test and use all the products we carry to ensure they perform as promised.

      Every product we offer goes through a strict vetting process. We evaluate ingredients, packaging, production practices, sustainability, and overall brand ethics.

      Only products that meet our high standards for effectiveness and environmental impact make it to our shelves.

      Are natural and sustainable products more expensive?

      While sustainable ingredients and ethical practices sometimes come at a higher cost, we carefully curate our selection to balance quality, effectiveness, and value. Our goal is to make it easy for you to enjoy premium, ethical products without overpaying.

      What if I have sensitive skin or allergies?

      We understand that everyone’s skin is different. Each product includes full ingredient details, and we recommend patch testing new products if you have sensitive skin or allergies. Our curated selection favors gentle, skin-friendly formulations.

      Can I refill or reorder easily? How does this work?

      Yes. Refillability is a core part of our approach. Many products are refillable, and home delivery options make it simple to maintain a sustainable routine.

      Once you’ve finished a product, you can purchase a refill instead of a full new container, then simply replenish your original bottle at home.

      What is your return policy?

      We want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase. If something isn't right, we're happy to offer an exchange or store credit within 14 days of purchase for items that are unused, unopened, and in their original packaging. We do not offer refunds.

      To start a return, mail your item to 3010 Dundas Street West, Toronto ON M6P 1Z3. Return shipping costs are the customer's responsibility and are non-refundable. For items over $75, we recommend using a trackable shipping service.
