What we do
Six ways we work with customers — from a single yard cut over the counter to a five-hundred-metre uniform contract. All of them start with the same conversation about what the cloth has to do.
Nothing here carries a hidden fee. Where a service costs something, the price is stated and it is credited against your order.
Service 01
The heart of the shop. Every bolt on the wall, cut to any length you need, with someone on hand who has actually sewn with the fabric you are holding. We publish weight, width and fibre content on every product because those three numbers decide whether a fabric can do what your design asks of it.
Service 02
Wholesale pricing begins at 50 metres, with further tiers at 200 and 500. Trade accounts see new arrivals before they reach the shop floor and move to 30-day terms after three settled orders. Bring us a spec sheet and we will quote against it — including the yardage arithmetic.
Service 03
Tell us the headcount and the date. We reserve a single dye lot, hold it against a deposit for up to twelve weeks, cut every piece to a consistent length, label them by guest name if you want that, and deliver the whole consignment together. It costs nothing above the fabric price.
Service 04
A forty-five minute appointment, in shop or over video, with the sketch or reference image in front of us. We work backwards from the silhouette to the fabric — weight first, then hand, then colour. Ask us about it on WhatsApp; it is free with a fabric order, and any fee is credited against whatever you buy.
Service 05
Send us a reference image, tell us what you are making and what your budget is, and we will come back with two or three honest options — including, quite often, the advice that a cheaper fabric is the better choice for what you are building. Same-day during opening hours.
Service 06
We buy directly from mills and artisan houses in Italy, France, India, Ghana and China. Send a photograph and a description of what the fabric must do, and we will tell you whether it is findable, roughly what it will cost landed, and how long it will take. Typically four to eight weeks.
We buy directly from mills and artisan houses we have visited. No middlemen, which is why our premium fabrics are priced below imported equivalents.
Weight, width, fibre content and origin published for everything we sell. If a shop will not tell you the GSM, ask yourself why.
We will talk you out of the expensive bolt when the cheaper one is right for your design. A gown that disappoints at the fitting costs us far more than one sale.
Same-day in Yaoundé, next-day in Douala, two to four days nationwide, and international courier for the diaspora.
Come and feel the cloth
Visit us at Tam-Tam, opposite Bali Hotel, or send a picture of what you are making and we will suggest two or three fabrics — usually the same day.
