In their words
Ordered from abroad, made to fit
Buying a garment that does not exist yet takes trust. These are customers who took that step.
“I sent my measurements from London and the agbada arrived fitting better than anything I have had made in person. The kente trim is exactly the pattern I asked for.”
“They sent photographs at every stage: the cloth, the cut pieces, the first fitting on the stand. I never once wondered what was happening with my order.”
“The sleeve came up a little long and they remade it without argument. That is what made me order twice more.”
