A couture studio inside a café
The needle in our logo is real. Inside Boards Café in Gikondo, Kigali, we make and fix clothes. Bring an idea, a picture, your own fabric or a piece you love that needs fixing. Enjoy a coffee while we take your measurements, and you leave with something made just for you.
