OUR
STORY
"The initial spark for sewing started with my grandmother, who worked as seamstress for many years. To my surprise, her skill set came from her father, a Master Tailor in Jamaica."
OUR TEAM
In 2014, my attention was caught by some African wax cotton prints and I decided to make some of my own neckties out of it. I received such a good response from it that I decided to try my hand at it again, and noticed the request and comments on my new hobby grew.
​
In the summer of 2015, suit accessories were being hand stitched and sold. In 2016, I decided to receive some formal training by taking some basic sewing and pattern reading classes in D.C. Since then, the majority of what I've learned is self-taught by reading books and following tutorials online, making what I see my own.
​
Most of the clothing that I make is of a formal nature, traditional American or European styles, but I love to merge them together. When I'm not using African print I often lean towards cloths that are full of color, favoring prints especially of a floral or paisley pattern. More than anything else, color really appeals to the eyes and emotions as my clothes give my customers a chance to stand out and make a statement.
