I needed to get a gele tied for a friend's upcoming wedding. After searching high and low for someone who could tie a gele who didn't live hours away from my area, my seamstress gave me the number for Sophiaticat Laces. They are open late hours, which is great, so I could drive over after work. Ms. Vera who ties the African head tie (gele) was amazing. She tied it in less than 15mins (and cheap) and was so sweet and nice. The store itself is amazing! The African print fabrics and gele fabric that I was were gorgeous. And the jewelry and shoes super cute. I need to go back to look through the jewelry and buy some. I also want to buy some of the African print fabric to get skirts and dresses made. They also had some read to wear African print women and men's outfits and the women's skirts looked super sexy and cute. I would highly recommend this store if you're looking to buy African print fabrics, get a gele tied, or even some cute jewelry/shoes. read more
