Chapter I — The House
Tailored,
not manufactured.
A house built on measured lines and quiet gold — thobes, suits, safari, abayas and hijabi dresses, each one drafted on the wearer's own pattern and hand-finished under one roof.

By the numbers
A quiet audit of the work.
Not a marketing promise — the actual composition of every order that leaves the atelier.
01. Cut individually on client's own pattern
92%
Every garment drafted from your personal block, not a size chart.
02. Hand-basted before first fitting
78%
A test-garment stage that most workshops have abandoned.
03. Locally atelier-made in Somalia

Nothing outsourced. Nothing shipped in half-finished.

The clearest signal that the work speaks for itself.

Chapter IV — The Craft
A garment is what remains after the shortcuts are removed.
Every ZACK THREADS piece is cut individually on the client's own pattern, hand-basted for the first fitting, and finished with stitched hems, hand-set buttons and pressed seams. Nothing is outsourced. Nothing is rushed to a shipping window.

Chapter X
In their words
What clients quietly tell us.
The attention to detail in the safari suit surpassed all expectations. It carries a weight of quality that is increasingly rare today.

Repeat Client · Suits & Safari
My walima abaya felt like it was made for the room — the embroidery, the drape, everything. Guests kept asking who tailored it.

We outfitted the entire executive team in three weeks. Consistent, on brand, and every fitting was handled personally.

Chapter XI — Questions
Before you book,
a few honest answers.
Can't see what you're looking for? Message us on WhatsApp and a stylist will reply personally.
Thobes typically finish in 8 – 14 days, abayas in 10 – 20 days, and full suits in 3 – 6 weeks depending on fabric availability and hand-work. Rush turnarounds are possible on request.
We prefer at least one in-atelier fitting, but we also offer home visits, video-guided remote measurement, and can reuse a saved profile from your account for repeat orders.
Yes. Bring a reference image or an existing favorite garment — our head tailor will interpret the pattern, propose fabric options, and finalize the design with you before cutting.
Alterations are included until every seam sits exactly right. If a garment can't be perfected in-house, we remake the affected piece at no charge.
