This experience was a great way to start my trip to Rome. Lydia and the team of tailors went beyond my expectations. I read about the Cooperative she had created and wanted to contribute in the best tangible way I could by supporting the artisans and their craft. The highlight for me was meeting each and every one of them as we shared stories, learned about garment making and visited the multicultural Esquilino market and got to see a side of Rome that perhaps is not on the touristic map. I walked away from Rome with a pair of culottes that were hand sewn by these talented and skilled dressmakers. I highly recommend this workshop that supports the integration of West African Refugee dressmakers living abroad.
Bravissimo Lydia and the team!!!! read more
