FixIts Sticks (Set of 3 Sticks)
FixIts was born out of a materials design studio and a passion for repair. It was always important to founder Chris that from the very beginning of FixIts, they weren’t just creating a product that can prevent stuff from going into the bin, but also making sure they weren’t creating unnecessary waste in the process of achieving that goal.
So it became more than just about making a product to repair, but doing so in an environmentally responsible way that minimises negative output on the world. It’s not easy to decide to manufacture everything local to us in the UK.
Sourcing each part of a whole product becomes far more complex and, as they’re now finding, there are some things that they want that are impossible to do/source directly from within the UK.
Fixits' mission is to help you throw less stuff away by repairing your stuff by joining the fight against unnecessary waste and product obsolescence due to small and singular component failures.
They’re not standing shoulder to shoulder with the titans of repair but they’re doing their part to help grow a business that’s focused on educating and helping consumers to repair their possesions.
