Help Inès restart a sewing studio in Paris after a long illness and repossession
A sewing studio in Paris needs help replacing a cutting table and overlocker after a long illness and repossession.
🇫🇷 Paris, Île-de-France, France523 views
For twelve years I have run a sewing studio in Paris. In May, a long illness and repossession took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 weeks.
This business pays my children's school fees and rent. I have already started working from home in small ways, but I can't meet orders without proper equipment.
Every contribution brings me closer to reopening, and I promise to post photos as I buy each item.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $2,950 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $1,900
• Working capital for the first month: $500
• Initial stock: fabric: $550
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
