‘A lot can happen over clothes'

What inspires you most about your work space?

Life has been an inspiration and also the natural surrounding, that’s why you can see all the beautiful floral designs and motifs. We have completed a year here. We believe in giving love and joy through our designs to our clients. Contentment through work is one thing that inspires us, we do bespoke tailoring so we have clients coming to us to design their wedding gowns with vintage motifs. As our work area is spacious, we sit down with our clients, informally chat and try to find out what is it that they are looking for.

Any special memories of the work space?

We’ve always shared our office space, so both of us have matured in this place which has some bitter-sweet memories. Moreover, we believe in continuity, it could be with our workers, interns, support staff or administrators, seeing the place grow has given us the biggest high.
