5.00I had a wonderful experience working with Yimba to get some custom clothing while I was traveling in Uganda. They were so helpful, professional, and quick with the turnaround. They have so many options available. It is amazing. Even better are the community projects they support, including the initiative that trains the local team of tailors and seamstresses who design and make the items. A great experience and product. Absolutely recommend.
One of a kind pieces and people!

5.00Anne-Marie, along with the staff at Yimba Fashions are incredible! Just before we were headed back home from Uganda, I knew that I wanted a few items custom pieces from Yimba Uganda as their products are always so beautiful!. I was able to message Anne-Marie, where she worked with me to create several custom pieces including clothing for my children, headbands for my newborn daughter, and a custom carseat/stroller "Pram" cover to use during colder months. I was able to decide which fabric/material I wanted for each piece. The services were completed in a timely manner (which was so impressive) and afterwards, I was able to pick up at a location near to me by meeting one of the Yimba Staff. The products were absolutely beautiful! I'm so happy that I ordered from Yimba Fashions Uganda and can't wait to order again! xx
I'd give them 1000 stars if I could
