Stitching Only · Kenya

Stitching for your own fabric in Kenya

Maybe you picked up dress fabric in Eastleigh, a printed cotton on Biashara Street, or an unstitched suit that a relative carried back from Pakistan. Stitching Only lets you keep that fabric and still get a made-to-measure outfit, cut and stitched by us in Pakistan.

  • Made in Pakistan, shipped to Kenya
  • 5 to 7 working days to make, plus shipping

From Kenya

Stitching Only for Kenya

You supply an unstitched suit or fabric, and we cut, stitch and finish it to your measurements.

Sizes, delivery and sending fabric from Kenya: ordering from Kenya.

What we need to see first

Photograph every piece in daylight and give us the length and width if you can measure them. For a suit pack, include the dupatta and any embroidered panels; for fabric bought by length, tell us how many metres you have. We confirm it suits your design and is enough before you send it anywhere.

Printed cottons such as kitenge can make a good kurta, co-ord or dress, but the print and the length decide what is possible, so check with us first.

Sending a parcel from Kenya to Pakistan

When we have agreed the sending arrangements, you book the courier and pay for that leg yourself. Fill in the customs form truthfully, describing the contents as dress fabric, wrap the fabric in a sealed plastic bag against damp, and share the tracking number with us.

The finished outfit is a separate shipment back to you, and its delivery and any import charges are already in your quote. See the posting guide for packing tips.
