Get it fixed at 44 Stanley

14 Jan 2025
44 Stanley may be best known for its boutique stores and courtyard cafès but what you might not know is that there are a number of specialist stores there offering advice, repairs and custom work. Whether it's new hairdo, have a busted pair of sneakers in need of reviving, or a record player which no longer sounds quite like it used to, there is a spot at 44 which can sort you out. We think what sets many of these places apart is the passion the people have for what they do and the deep interest they take in their craft as a result.

Here's where to get it fixed at 44 Stanley.

Denim revivals at Ifuku

Ifuku gets its name from the Japanese word for clothes and its easy to see why when chatting to the owner Rodney Mudzengerere. His deep knowledge of the materials and history of the clothes he sells means that almost every item on sale has a story behind it. Rodney specialises in denim and while his store sells rare vintage and selvedge pieces he also offers denim restorations and customisation knowing that few things can top a pair of jeans which have been through it all with you.
 
Mr. Vinyl is your one stop shop for records, turntable repairs and any vinyl advice you might need.

Smooth sounds at Mr. Vinyl

Brett Dugmore and his team at Mr. Vinyl have been involved in all things vinyl since long before its recent return to the limelight. This means it's not only a great spot to get records but also that you can get turntables repaired, advice on maintenance, and records cleaned of all but the most set in scratches. Bring that old turntable you inherited or thrifted, and after a quick evaluation, they'll be able to tell you what's wrong with it and how long it will take to fix. When collecting, bring any old vinyls in to renew them at their cleaning station.

Fine-tuned tailoring at Land of Kin

Land of Kin sells bespoke menswear from their store at 44 Stanley and every item purchased can be altered by James the tailor to ensure it fits just the way you want. You are also able to bring in any clothes or suits for alterations and James' sharp eye for fashion means a far more careful approach than a simple stop at Levingers.
Indoor plants and green-fingered guidance at JFF Plant Shop.

Green thumbs at JFF Plant Shop

JFF Plant Shop began in Braamfontein with a Rooftop Farm and the store in 44 Stanley allows for a more customer-focused approach. Starting an urban farm is no small task and when chatting with owner Ash and the rest of the team at JFF its easy to see why they were able to succeed. Their knowledge of the plants they grow is second-to-none and if you're struggling to keep that delicious monster you received as a gift alive they'll be only to happy to help.
