“I was once invited to my uncle for a traditional wedding ceremony for my cousin at Giyani. All the guests were allowed to wear traditional outfits. The bride and the groom were also wearing a designed embroidered clothes made by Kaross workers. . Each person looked different and smart. They all wanted to know where Kaross was situated because they want those designers. I was so proud because I'm the one who made that dress or outfits at Kaross.”
