Everything you actually need for mending, in a tin that fits in a handbag. No filler.
The "wait, does anyone have a needle and thread?" problem solved.
You know this moment- a button's gone rogue, a hem's given up on life, and the whole room turns to look at the one person who might possibly have a solution in their bag. Be that person.
The SOHMO Mini Mending Kit fits in a handbag, a desk drawer, or a carry-on, and holds exactly what you need to fix an actual wardrobe emergency: Matchbox Scissors, self-threading needles (no squinting required), a tape measure, thread, spare buttons, and pins. No filler, no mystery bits you'll never use.
Small enough to forget it's there. Complete enough that you won't be forgetting it again once you've needed it once.
What's in the tin:
Matchbox Scissors - SOHMO's custom-designed squeeze scissors, airline-safe and sharp enough to cut thread cleanly. The same scissors that come in their own matchbox packaging, miniaturised into this kit.
Easy Thread Needles (pack of 20, made in Japan) - self-threading needles that thread with a single press. No squinting, no needle threader required. For anyone who's ever lost five minutes trying to thread a needle under bad lighting.
Tape Measure - the SOHMO tape measure. Because mending without measuring is just guesswork.
Two spools of thread - one white, one black. Strong polyester, covering the most common mending scenarios without overcomplicating the kit.
Two shirt buttons - ready for the moment a button goes missing. White, versatile, and already in the tin.
Five Coilless Pins - snag-free safety pins for marking, tacking, and securing fabric without catching on threads.
There's also room in the tin to add your own bits - an extra button you've been meaning to keep somewhere sensible, a specific thread colour, a small needle minder. The tin is slightly larger than it needs to be for the contents, and that's intentional.
A genuinely useful gift for the person who travels frequently, the student heading to university or the colleague who's always asking if anyone has a needle and thread.
