Meet our Sewing Tailors – ‘Shine a light on talent’

Tila and Marzia are our two wonderful sewing tailors who teach the BagforEveryone sewing classes at OpenSpace, the community hub of our partner Starfish Foundation. We are especially pleased to have had classes back up and running for the past few months after lengthy disruptions caused by Covid-19 restrictions which were finally relaxed in June this summer.
