Our Collab with tiktok sensation Curtis Waters!
During the pandemic, I have had to diversify my brand from making my up-cycled bespoke streetwear from vintage garms to be more in line with what the customer needs during the pandemic and now a recession! I started to turn my unsold stock into sustainable face masks, which has kept me sooo busy, with them being stocked in a couple of boutique in London & pushing my bespoke denim business :) I have even fitted in an elevator pitch with Trinny London, which I was terrified doing because I had to show my face and I have always been mute on social media. If you want your own personalised denim jacket as the above click here.
I am inspired by hip hop and my muses range from Asap Rocky, Rihanna, Tyler the Creator & more. I was blessed enough to be able to have customers reach out to me to paint them one-off jackets with Travis Scott 'Astronomical, Lil Uzi Vert, a 90s inspired hip hop jacket with Clueless patterns, and artists such as Lauren Hill, Destiny’s Child, Aaliyah, TLC & J-lo - currently working on an ASAP Rocky jacket so stay tuned!

I missed making my bespoke custom denim jackets as the pandemic has meant people have less places to go and with restrictions demand for my jackets has decreased so I reached out to Curtis Waters as I loved his positive energy and the fact that his roots were also from Nepal and he like myself broke the typical stereotype of a white-collar profession which is quite normal to be encouraged to follow by family. He started lockdown as a student making music in his bedroom and emerged 3 months later with TikTok's number hit song 'Stunnin' with over 100,000,000 streams on Spotify and the Tiktok Community going crazy for his song, including me!
Myself being a fashion designer and going through the cultural journey to break down the norm and follow a creative profession, which made my parents nervous - made me reach out to Curtis and ask if I could make him a bespoke hand made jacket in tune with his Nepali heritage and his then-new single 'The feelings tend to stay the same'. Whilst single-handedly and with the help of my mum and dad making 100's of face masks weekly I tried my best to fit in time to make this jacket, it took me two weeks to complete but it was so worth it!
The jacket was a raw piece at the beginning, I dyed it blue, hand-embroidered onto it the moto of my brand, 'I am who I am. Your approval is not needed', in Nepali transcript. I painted clouds all over the blue denim jacket & hat as to me it evoked positivity. There is also a heart under the collar :) The jacket took a month (cries) to get to Curtis, and was such an emotional roller coaster for as I paid for the next day International delivery and the parcel got stuck in customs for weeks, flying back and forth between states due to an error by FedEx and Parcel Force. I was chasing daily - missed his single drop due to the delay and Curtis had started promoting his new single 'Freckles' but finally, weeks later it arrived and Curtis sent through the pictures of him wearing it - he loved it, I was so happy all that hard work did not go down the pan! I suppose the message I am trying to get at is fight those cultural barriers, there are no rules to how you should live your life and what career you SHOULD do. Follow your dreams and do not give up because honestly, you get closer each day. It's bloody hard but focus on the good, overcome the bad, and your already halfway there.
I have made a matching sweatshirt and bucket hat to this blue sky and cloud jacket, click the links below for your daily dose. I also offer a personalised option where you can have any name painted and embroidered onto the sweatshirt and hat :)
