An Original By Tess

An Original by Tess is a Black-Owned Business based in Atlanta, GA. We specialize in sewing and designing authentic African attire with a brilliance in skirt making & detailed-patchwork. Teeza's caters to every nip and curve that allows women to feel and look both elegant and full of confidence.

As a family business, Mama Theresa, Benedicta, and Angel, firmly believe in the importance of culture and the beauty behind it. When both men and women come together to celebrate their culture, they not only share the love they have for one another, but they value the importance of who they are within their identity.

When we wear cultural attire, there's a sense of unity and of home we feel when we step out into the world. We desire for others to appreciate our culture just as much as we do. Every piece we own tells a story. It reminds us of who joined together in matrimony, who journeyed off into paradise, or what little ball of sunshine stepped into the world full of life. From the fabric that catches our eye, to the style that we choose; as a result, the final product tells us a little bit about who we are and how important our culture is to our identity. So feel free to look around, enjoy the music, and get to know the beauty behind our business.
