At OhSevenDays, we believe in the power of slow fashion and meaningful self-expression. Our commitment to sustainability and ethical practices is not just about the clothes we create, but also about the talented individuals who bring these pieces to life. This week, we're excited to introduce you to one of our master tailors, who embodies the values we stand for.
A Lifetime of Dedication
We had the privilege of interviewing one of our seasoned artisans, who has been perfecting his craft for 50 years. When asked what he loves most about being a tailor, he warmly replied, "Hepsi güzel—hem dikiş hem kesim. Hepsi butik yani." (It's all beautiful—both sewing and cutting. It's all about detail-oriented, boutique work.)
A Day in the Life
A typical day for him starts early. "Sabah erkenden geliyorum," he shared. (I arrive early in the morning.) From cutting to sewing and ironing, he meticulously takes care of every detail required for his work. "Akşama kadar zevkli keyfi çalışıyoruz," he explained, highlighting the passion that fuels his craft. (We enjoy working with pleasure until evening.)
The Craftsmanship Behind the Darcy Dress
When asked about his favorite piece, he proudly mentioned the Darcy dress. "Bu elbisenin üretimi biraz zor ve uğraştırıcı ama bitirince çok keyifli oluyor," he explained. (The production of this dress is a bit difficult and demanding, but it's very satisfying once it's finished.) His dedication and love for the process shine through in every stitch.
A Heartwarming Presence
We've known him for six years, and he used to work for another tailor. From the beginning, we loved his energy and saw how much he cared for his work. His kindness and attention to detail made us eager to offer him a place with us. Working closely together for the past 2.5 years, we've come to admire his precision and the warm energy he brings to our team.
A Message to Our Customers
Our tailor emphasized, "Biz bu işler için çok uğraşıyoruz ve çok güzel oluyor... Onun için gönlünüz rahat alabilirsiniz." (We put a lot of effort into this work, and it turns out beautifully... So, you can feel at ease purchasing and using our products.)
