AlterEgo by She-bang

Because loving your clothes means making them last.

Alter Ego is our slow-fashion take on alterations and repairs—where sustainability meets style. Based in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, we offer local NYC garment alterations, repairs, and custom upcycling designs. Whether it’s something vintage you adore but doesn’t quite fit, a piece from your closet in need of a second chance, or a new design made just for you, we’re here to help you love your wardrobe longer.

Our goal is simple: make what you already own feel even more like you.

Drop us a message here to get started, we will follow up!  you can also DM us on Instagram.

💸 About Pricing

Every piece is different, and so is the work it needs. Our prices reflect the time, detail, and materials involved—and can vary based on:
• Fabric type (delicate silks, denim, knits, etc.)
• Complexity of the alteration or repair
• Garment construction (lining, layers, vintage quirks)

We’re happy to give you a personalized quote—just send us a few pics and a quick description via our contact form, or bring your item by our booth at one of our upcoming markets!

✂️ Custom Work = Custom Pricing

Because every garment has its own story (and quirks), pricing depends on the fabric, construction, and how intricate the alteration is. We always aim to keep things fair, clear, and worth it—no sticker shock, just honest work.
