Zoë Barbano Grinder is a local maker and mender in the greater Pawtucket/Providence area; dedicated to mending clothing in a visible and celebratory manner.

Technically, Zoë’s practice is no longer in Valley. That said, our favorite mender is a neighborhood staple! She’ll be at Farm Fresh Rhode Island until 1pm, set up for "on-demand" mending. The shop packs up for break and re-opens at 50 Sims from 2pm-5pm.

What is “on-demand” mending? Folks can bring clothes, and as time allows Zoë will mend them on the spot, or for pick up later on.
