Our Process

Please note that consultation fees vary depending on the selected package.

In-Person Consultation
Your consultation will take place at our Beyers Park studio, the Dubai Centre, or at your residence, depending on your selected package. During the one-hour session, we will walk you through a guided consultation process, complete the required questionnaire with you, discuss your design needs in detail, and take all necessary measurements. A detailed estimated quote will be provided based on the consultation package selected, along with any applicable documentation.

Fabric Procurement
You will be provided with a list of required fabrics and materials to source for your garment. If you prefer the designer to assist with fabric shopping or to source materials on your behalf, this service is available at a flat rate of R250 per hour and will be added to your invoice.

Fittings
Once fabrics have been secured and all documentation is complete, your first and second fittings will be scheduled at our Beyers Park studio, the Dubai Centre, or at your residence, depending on your selected package. Please note that travel fees may apply and will be communicated in advance where applicable.

Pick-Up
Collection of your finished garment will take place from our Beyers Park studio, the Dubai Centre, or at your residence, depending on your selected package. Your final invoice will be issued at your final fitting and must be settled in full on the day of collection. Please note that travel fees may apply for home collections where applicable.
