The idea from Nimu from Nairobi :

Hello,

I would like a kimono and matching pants made with kitenge material. Possibly a nude or black and white-colored material.

 

 

The customer’s rating:

Nimu 11 Jan 2022 11:01 am
I absolutely loved this. The pants fit perfectly and I have been wearing the kimono with anything I possibly could pair it with. I will definitely share this with all my friends.
Secondly, I really liked working with Nyambura, communication was quick and easy. She got my measurements perfectly and understood what I wanted. Thank you.

Hello Nimu,
I hope this finds you well and thank you for the measurements.

Please have a look at the attached fabrics and let me know which one you like best.

Many Thanks,
Nyambura

Nimu 02 Nov 2021 8:22 pm
Hello,

Do you have other pieces of fabric?

Nyambura Irungu 03 Nov 2021 1:49 pm
Hi Nimu,

Do you mean other colors or other variations of the black and white?

Nimu 03 Nov 2021 4:14 pm
Different fabrics in general.
Nyambura Irungu 04 Nov 2021 8:19 pm
Hi Nimu,

I've sent some more fabric options for you to look at.
I haven't quite understood if you mean you'd like to see other fabrics aside from kitenge, and if so, is it still within your colours of black , white or nude?

This will help me refine my search for fabrics as I do not stock them.

Many Thanks,
Nyambura.

Nimu 08 Nov 2021 10:08 am
hello,

We could work with the second fabric you sent over. The black one.

Nyambura Irungu 08 Nov 2021 3:00 pm
Okay, great. Just to be on the same page, you mean the one labelled like so:
IMG-20211102-WA0003.jpg. Yes?
Nimu 09 Nov 2021 10:07 am
Yes.
Nyambura Irungu 09 Nov 2021 10:36 am

Hey, is the fabric blue in the first picture?
Nyambura Irungu 25 Nov 2021 2:49 pm
Hey Nimu,

Yes, it appears as blue because of lighting.
I've taken a better photo and attached of the finished look.
