Life at Serah Kassim; an African fashion brand that truly cares
Every brand has its core values and for us here at Serah Kassim, our core values are the important pillars of the brand.
Serah Kassim is a made in Nigeria Afrocentric Retail brand that uses Afrocentric clothing to promote African textiles. It's an African fashion brand that truly cares.
The Serah Kassim brand officially launched in 2018, after receiving the seed grant from the Tony Elumelu Foundation in 2017. At Serah Kassim, the goal is to empower African Women with the right fit to feel beautiful and confident in a well-tailored garment.
Why?
Our CEO, Serah Kassim, answers "If you ask me, I grew up into a family of tailors. My mum and grandma both knew how to sew. I liked the idea of sewing and everything in between but I knew it had to be more than that, I wanted it to be. I wanted women of different forms to feel confident in a Serah Kassim piece. I want the Serah Kassim woman to feel free."
The mission for this African Fashion brand has been and continues to be - to build Serah Kassim into a fashion retail brand women can trust, be confident in and relate with using African clothing made from African textiles while creating premium value for the African woman.
As a woman-owned business with a team of brilliant, hardworking women, Serah Kassim continues to put care at the front.
It's only right that this month, as we celebrate women and their contributions, we let you in on what makes this brand much more than just another African fashion business.
