Why this business for starters?

I am a software engineer by profession but decided to divert from that field because of my love for style. My late mum was also a tailor and when she passed on, I got so interested in design, and the other reason is that I wanted to be my own boss.

What inspired your business name, ‘Alyn Rosy Couture’?

I like being formal and I didn’t want my business to be attributed to my tribe. I twisted my Allen name to Alyn and added Rosy, which means something optimistic or promising.

Did you learn all this from your late mother?

I learnt the basics from my late mother who was also a tailor, but I upgraded my skills and knowledge from Nilayi University in Malaysia.

Where do you buy your materials from?

I buy bulk materials from Tanzania, at a place called Bunagana situated on the Congo border, but if they are in small quantities, I get them from downtown.

How long would it take you to design an outfit, tailor it and make it ready for a client?

If I’m not busy, I can even make it in one day but I usually give my clients up to a week to pick up their clothes. I hate working under pressure, so I give myself time to enable my clients to get maximum satisfaction.
