On this photo i see wonderful fabrics and a little girl who reminded my myself. When i was a kid i always was excited when my aunt would come to visit us - ishe would create amazing pillow cases, cute skirts for me, cool pants for my brother - so original! She always brought beauty and love to people through her tailoring art. Tailor has the ultimate power in daily life of all kind of people. I wish and hope this project will help you in your wonderful journey!

HI Jessy! Many thanks for putting us in touch with sol Collective! we have corresponded andthe lady is sending samples though the post, we are thrilled. we were wondering if we could make better samples and have the students from Victoria look at? we would still like to engage with them.So if there were specific things they would have loved in the designs, please let us know. Asante sana! Be Smart Team.

What's the latest? It's now 2011 and the last comments are from 2009. Are any of the garments you make available for export? Would you be interested in going in that direction?
