Seamstress Olga teams up with workspace provider Glandore to repair clothes in Cork workspaces

Seamstress and asylum seeker Olga Voytenko has teamed up with flexible workspace provider Glandore to repair workers' clothes during February.

Olga Voytenko, a Russian seamstress living in Cork, has teamed up with flexible workspace provider Glandore to offer its Cork members the opportunity to repair clothing during February.

The relationship comes as a part of Glandore’s ongoing sustainability drive which aims to achieve an eco-friendlier workspace. Using Olga’s expertise, they hope to encourage their members to repair clothes instead of dumping and buying into fast fashion, subsequently reducing carbon and clothing waste.
