Meet Ada

Ada, a skilled sewing operator at Sina Textile, has a passion for creating flawless garments. "I care about making faultless garments and pleasing our customers," she explains. But for her, it's not just the craft that matters: "There are many reasons I love my job, but my lovely colleagues are one of the best parts," she shares. 

 

Meet Sevda

Sevda is Sina Textile’s expert in bartacking – the process of reinforcing areas under high stress, like belt loops and pocket openings. For Sevda, it's all about the details. "I’ve always focused on how trousers look on the outside," she says. Her attention to these small but crucial areas ensures that each pair of trousers not only looks good but stands the test of time. “I love perfecting one thing at a time,” she adds.
