Developing products and services to help solve the daily challenges that designers and tailors face, and make sewing seamless
Meet the Team
Growing up as British Nigerians, the lead up to countless birthdays, weddings and events has involved experiences with designers and tailors to create our bespoke outfits. These interactions are often full of friction and we aim to change that.
We want to build a strong community of designers, tailors and seamstresses who are armed with the tools they need to create beautiful pieces for their customers. We are developing products and services that allow this community to focus on what they do best and make sewing seamless.
