Celestin was launched in October 2019. It was founded by Celest who wanted to bring whimsical clothing to life through sustainable practices and having an inclusive sizing range by specialising in made-to-measure clothing. All orders are made by Celest herself from start to finish.
As Celestin has grown Celest found herself wanting to include ways for like-minded people to come together and feel empowered. This is why after conducting some private sewing lessons Celest decided to launch sewing workshops. After coming to the realisation just how much she loves getting to help others learn and feel empowered in the craft of sewing.
