How To Upload Your Design

From first sketch to your doorstep in Kenya — six clear steps. Build a free-moving piece you can wear any day and dress up for any occasion.

01

Open Your Studio

Sign in and go to Custom Uploads.

Your design queue lives in the customer dashboard. Create an account or log in, then open Custom Uploads to start a new request — no phone call required.

02

Upload Your Designs

Add clear photos of your idea.

Attach up to five images (PNG, JPG, or WebP) in Custom Uploads. Sketches, fabric close-ups, and reference looks all help. We preview every file before you send so you know exactly what we receive.

03

Tell Us The Details

Garment, fabric, size, and your own instructions.

Choose garment type, fabric preference, and size. Add your own instructions for fit, length, or finishing. The more precise you are, the closer the piece lands to your vision.

04

Set Delivery

Town, county, and contact later.

Share town/city and county so we can plan delivery. Nairobi is KES 300; outside Nairobi is KES 600. Full ID contact is confirmed at checkout when you place or complete the order.

05

We Review and Price

We look at your idea and get your price ready.

We look through what you sent and make the ones we can sew into an order for you that shows the price. You can see how your order is doing in Orders on your dashboard while we work.

06

Pay and Receive

Pay the full amount and we bring it to you.

You can pay with M-PESA, cash, card and more. See all your payments any time in Payments. We start work and send your piece after your payment is done and then your Ankara piece is on its way.
