Questions

Can you match my outfit?

Yes. Send a photograph or bring a swatch and we pick from stock, or dye damask to match for aso ebi orders.

How long does a tie last?

All day and night, if you do not take it off. We pin it to hold.

Can I take a tied gele home?

Yes. Ask for a round storage box so it keeps its shape for next time.
