St James Quarter Partners with The Seam for Exclusive Clothing Alteration Pop-Up

St James Quarter, Edinburgh’s premier lifestyle destination, has teamed up with The Seam, the UK’s leading platform for clothing alterations and repairs, to bring a bespoke new service to its shoppers. This exciting collaboration will see a special two-day pop-up event designed to make sure your new purchases fit perfectly.

On Thursday 26th and Friday 27th September, guests visiting St James Quarter will have the chance to meet with expert makers from The Seam between 10am and 6pm. As part of this exclusive experience, guests who purchase items from stores including Cos, &Other Stories, Superdry, Tommy Hilfiger, Zara, Mango, Hollister, and Stradivarius will be able to access complimentary alterations. Whether it's adjusting length, waistlines, sleeves, straps, or shoulders, The Seam’s skilled makers will ensure your new finds fit like a dream – all you need to do is register via the St James Quarter app.

But the service doesn’t stop there. Once the event wraps, The Seam will continue to be a part of St James Quarter’s permanent offerings. Shoppers can make use of a weekly ‘pick-up and drop-off’ service for any alterations or repairs, conveniently handled via Guest Services. It’s a seamless way to extend the life of your wardrobe, helping you stay stylish and sustainable.

“At St James Quarter, we know shoppers are increasingly looking for ways to make their fashion choices more sustainable,” says Susan Hewlett, Brand and Marketing Director. “Our partnership with The Seam allows us to offer practical, high-quality alterations that will make our guests’ purchases last longer. We’re excited to support this movement and continue this service beyond the pop-up event.”

The Seam is committed to making wardrobe care accessible by connecting customers with expert tailors, menders, and cobblers, providing a circular fashion solution that reduces textile waste.

To celebrate the launch, St James Quarter is offering shoppers the chance to win free alterations for their garments. Simply enter through the St James Quarter app for a chance to take advantage of this stylish giveaway.
