SC 01Step by step
From your wardrobe to ours and back
Send a photo or walk in
WhatsApp a photo of the garment and say what is wrong, or come straight to the shop on Ring Road.
Try it on and pin it
Wear the shoes you will wear on the day. We pin, chalk and agree the price before any cutting.
Get your ticket
A paper ticket and a WhatsApp message with your pickup time. Same ticket number on both.
We sew it
Our machines run on solar and an inverter, so a power cut does not push your date back.
Collect or receive it
Pressed, bagged and checked. Pay by transfer, POS or cash.

Rider times avoid the worst of the Challenge and Mokola traffic: collections run 12pm to 3pm, returns 4pm to 7pm.
SC 04Measuring at home
Cannot come in for a fitting?
For hems and waists we can work from a garment that already fits you well. Send it with the one to alter and we copy the length or waist exactly.
For a trouser hem, put the trousers on with your shoes, fold the leg to where you want it and pin it with a safety pin. That one pin tells us everything.
What to bring
The garment, the shoes for the day and, for native wear, the whole set. If you have spare fabric from the tailor who sewed it, bring that too.
Uncollected items
We keep garments for 60 days and send two reminders on WhatsApp. After that we donate them to a local church clothing drive.
Care after collection
Iron lace on the wrong side, wash ankara inside out in cold water and hang agbada on a wide hanger so the shoulders stay sharp.
SC 05Drop off questions
Questions about collection

What if I need it earlier than planned?
Call or WhatsApp us. If the bench allows, we move it up for the next day charge.
Do you open on public holidays?
We open from 10am to 4pm on most public holidays, except Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.
