 EXAMINER REQUEST- FILE shots also available. The Cork arm of Glandore, Ireland’s leading serviced office and flexible workspace provider, have teamed up with Olga Voytenko, a Russian seamstress living in Cork, to give their members the opportunity to repair clothing this February. The relationship comes as a part of Glandore’s ongoing sustainability drive which aims to achieve an eco-friendlier workspace. Using Olga’s expertise, they hope to encourage their members to repair clothes instead of dumping and buying into fast fashion, subsequently reducing carbon and clothing waste.
Olga, who is a Russian asylum seeker and is living in a Direct Provision Centre, has been in Cork for three years. Last December, she opened her first sewing studio in Cork City through the assistance of John Dennehy, Chairman and Founder of Zartis and member of Glandore. Subsequently, John recommended Olga to Glandore, who have now committed to hiring Olga for her superb seamstress skills on February 12th.
