What is AlterAround | | I'm Interested! | FAQs
The digital age is here. Faster than ever, and we want to be ahead of the curve by developing and creating business opportunities to help our sewing graduates.
We want you to start your very own alteration business, and for the same reason, to meet the gap in the fashion industry.
More and more Singaporeans are buying clothes online because it is convenient. However, one of the main disadvantage is that they are unable to try the clothes on first, so returning the clothes or altering them would be the next best option.
When Singaporeans are looking for an alteration service near their neighbourhood, it is a difficult and time consuming process because they need to justify the price with the sewing workmanship.
AlterAround is a brand new alteration service proudly developed by TaF.tc!
With AlterAround, our sewing graduates are able to provide and offer alteration services from the comfort of their own home.
TaF.tc is developing a mobile application to help Singaporeans who are finding alteration shops nearest to their location, and matching them with the closest alteration personnel.
We will be partnering with Ban Soon, to provide a loan cum purchase (sponsored by third party) for the sewing machines to help our new business owners!
