These Two Founders Started An On-Demand Clothing Alterations Startup
Note: This business is no longer running. It was started in 2018 and ended in 2024. Reason for closure: Shut down.
Hello! Who are you and what business did you start?
We are Saara and Stephanie - we’ve been friends for 8 years and have both launched our own socially oriented businesses. We recently started ALTRD - a clothing alteration service.
We offer quality clothing alterations that customers can access without leaving home. Our customers order online and then select one of three prep methods (send an item to match, safety pin to mark fit or describe what they want). Couriers pick up the clothes and then drop off to our tailors who work their magic. Clothes are returned to the customer, pressed and fitting just like they should.
The magic is our sewing experts (tailors), all of whom are highly skilled immigrant women in New York who need work they can do from home.
We’re proud to say that we’ve already built an awesome team of 25 Sewing Experts and ran a successful pilot in New York City. We’re still learning and growing the business but have a lot of momentum that we’re excited to build on.
