Visible mending turns a worn patch into an intentional design. Mending Kit: Regular is the straightforward mixed-supply kit; Mending Kit, Deluxe adds a more premium selection of vintage haberdashery; Mending Kit: Vintage emphasizes vintage materials. Because these packs can vary, their character matters more than any promise of identical contents.

What to check before buying
Choose Mending Kit: Regular to try stitching and patching without a large collection. Consider Mending Kit, Deluxe if you enjoy unusual threads and patches, or Mending Kit: Vintage for a vintage-led aesthetic. Check the current photo and listed contents before buying, then match needles, thread and patch fabric to the garment you plan to repair.
Contents may vary and the linked shop uses some generic listing copy; confirm the exact kit components with the seller for a specific repair.
