Translated from Chinese:
It took only two and a half years for Sheryl to become an owner of a custom fashion store from an apprenticeship. Sheryl's courage and ability are undoubtedly admirable. Her brand was born out of her love for menswear from a young age, where she was always unable to get her preferred styles.

 Seeing a gap in the market, she explored her options and started to provide "gender-neutral" custom clothing to the market to cater for the needs of some niche groups such as the LGTBQIA+ sector. She mentioned that tailoring is not as simple as "making clothes". With each commssions, she spends 2 - 3 hours chatting with customers, understanding their preferences and needs, before she introduces fabrics and bring the possibilities of customization to the next level.
