The workshop in detail

  • 2h
  • 15 years min.
  • 2 to 5 participants
  • Up to 5 people for a privatization
  • Join Esther for a practical and accessible workshop where you'll learn how to alter your clothes by hand, without the need for a sewing machine. Whether you want to adjust a hem, shrink a size or repair a damaged garment, this workshop will give you the essential skills to creatively maintain and transform your wardrobe.

    The workshop will take place in a comfortable setting, in a concept store/café that combines a selection of designer and vintage pieces. From the outset, a round table discussion allows everyone to share their sewing level and expectations so that the advice can be tailored to your needs.

    Each participant brings two or three garments to be altered. With Esther's help, you'll learn how to use different hand sewing techniques to alter or repair them. If some garments cannot be repaired, upcycling alternatives will be suggested to give them new life in another form.

    At the end of the workshop, you'll leave with your transformed garments and new skills to continue altering and customising your wardrobe on your own. A fun and creative way to adopt more sustainable fashion!

    Styliste

    NĂ©e au SĂ©nĂ©gal et Ă©levĂ©e en CĂŽte d’Ivoire, Esther puise son inspiration dans ses racines africaines. 

    C’est en observant la garde-robe Ă©lĂ©gante et versatile de sa mĂšre qu’elle dĂ©couvre sa vocation : habiller les femmes avec style et sophistication.

    AprĂšs son bac, Esther se forme en stylisme et modĂ©lisme Ă  l’école MichĂšle Yakice, puis part en France pour Ă©tudier Ă  l'ESMOD. 

    Elle se spécialise en maille et obtient son bachelor en Fashion Design, puis son master en marketing et management de mode et luxe à LISAA Paris.

    Esther dĂ©cide finalement de rĂ©aliser son rĂȘve en lançant son propre label. 

    Elle travaille aujourd'hui sur ses propres créations, qui allient tradition et modernité, et célÚbrent aussi bien la force que la beauté des femmes.

    Enthousiaste et passionnée, Esther sera ravie de vous ouvrir les portes de son univers le temps d'un atelier !
