How would you describe yourself
I am a charismatic and dynamic man. I juggle between offering IT services such as programming and web design, and running a bespoke tailoring company known as 56 Authentique.
How do you juggle fashion and IT
It's all about discipline. I am very time conscious and I always carry a diary with me that helps me organise my commitments, ensuring I do everything on time.
What got you into the business of making suits
A suit has since time immemorial been regarded as a piece of clothing that shows how respected and successful a man is. It also has very many details, and if you give it just a cursory glance, you may miss them. I decided to take my time to learn how these amazing pieces of art were made, and that is how my company, 56 Authentique, came up.
I really love suits and the elegance that comes with wearing one. I used to hear people complain about how unreliable suit tailors were and how disappointed they were with the poor quality of what was available. I was determined to right these wrongs by being professional and thorough.
How much did you spend on your first machine
My first tailoring machine cost me Sh12,000 and I bought it using the savings that I had accumulated through my IT work.
My first clients were my close friends who really supported me; they were willing to buy the suits that I made and from these sales, I was able to buy more equipment to grow my business as well as earn a little extra to meet my needs.
What do you think sets 56 Authentique apart from other tailoring outfits
