A Fresh Start: Success Stories of Member Startups

Through the Social Entrepreneurship Program, members have harnessed their natural potential and recently launched their latest business venture. The following two member-owned and run businesses will have you set for the festive season.

Sultan Seams

In the few short months since launching, Sultan Seams has provided quality clothing alterations, repairs and production to metropolitan Melbourne, and already garnered a loyal customer base.

The business is based in a professionally-equipped studio in Dandenong. The machines are well maintained and threads perfectly ordered, as hands performing the work learned to sew at only 14 years of age, and worked in the family business overseas until coming to Melbourne and launching Sultan Seams.

Sultan Seams offers swift turnarounds for those last-minute emergencies. If the straps on that new dress need adjusting or a zip on your favourite pair of jeans has gone, don’t get caught out by the festive season!

Call on 0452 448 210, and get your order in by 20th December to have it ready for Christmas Day.

From school uniform alterations to having wedding dresses fitted, Sultan Seams offers swift, quality work. Pick up and delivery of clothing is available at ASRC Footscray on appointment.
