5.00I know it's a cliche but the fabrics were all so beautiful it was hard to choose just a few. The patterns are amazing and the cotton is hefty. I can't wait to make something with my purchases!

5.00Went on a fabric tour to have some custom clothing made that was not all African print that I could wear casually to work in Australia. I went with Veronica and Anne Marie who were super helpful navigating the markets which were like a maze! I have them screenshots of styles I liked and they helped find and negotiate the prices which was a big help. Then had the consultations to go through what I wanted and to take all measures, we had two fittings at the office once the clothing was made and then adjusted to ensure it was all what I wanted, couldn't be happier with the end product, price and the smooth service. A great experience and hearing how the money helps the organisation was a wonderful bonus.
Excellent Ugandan fashion experience!
