Custom Face Masks - Personalized Designs & Fit

The idea from Silvia from Mandelbachtal:

I would like to have 1 custom made face mask. Face width in cm: 30; Face length in cm: 13; I wear Glasses. Please add a wire on the upper side of the mask (recommended if you wear glasses). I prefer Elastic straps around the ears (standard). Mask shape: Rectangular shape; Style: feminin; The fabric should be African print (please indicate the main colour) with the main colour dark blue with black; Please provide photos from the fabric before you start; The mask should be made with 3 layers. I want that for every mask I buy one mask is given for free to somebody in Kenya in need (plus 1€ net per mask).

Hello Silvia,
Sincere apologiez for customer dissatisfation.

1.The masks have adjustable strands hence you can reduce the size by the knot to make it fitting.

2.The size of the mask you had given are too big , I made a sample and it was as the size of a scarf, so I had to make you something practical and close to your measurements.

3.The lightblue mask was the one meant for your order but we decided to send you both of them.

. If you are still unsatisfied a replacement of the mask would be made for you in order to compensate the inconvinience.

Best regards.

Hey Silvia. My name is Brigid and I shall be taking over your request. Does the African print fabric still need to be blue or could I use any other variants?? Do lemme know then we can pick it up from there.

Hey, Brigid, I don't really like this fabric. Can I maybe get more of a graphic pattern?
Kind regards, Silvia.

Hello, Brigid,
