Evelyne M.

Evelyne is an entrepreneur who has turned her creative passion for fashion into a high-growth business. Although she originally studied information technology, she decided to follow her calling after graduating, trained in tailoring and founded her own fashion atelier in 2020. With a lot of commitment, the support of her sister and her first employee, she managed to start selling online - the success quickly confirmed the quality and appeal of her products.

Today, Evelyne runs 2 showrooms - one in her home region and another in Kigali - as well as her own workshop with 11 employees. Her brand is aimed at quality-conscious, middle-income customers. She sources the materials she uses from Europe, among other places, in order to guarantee the highest standards of workmanship. Her attention to detail and aesthetic flair characterize her collections and make her a sought-after address in Rwanda's up-and-coming fashion scene.
