A Saleswoman's Hustle in the Times of Covid.


This pandemic has led to many challenges for all of us. Our travel has been disrupted, hell every aspect of our normal lives has been effected by this situation. At Kapra, we decided to try something a bit different.

Fortunately enough, we have family on the island of Cyprus who were willing to try something new. Mark and Maura, a married power team with combined skills of photography, web dev and sales were up for the challenge.

Through some diligent research and networking they were able to find the top tailors on the island. The tailors of Cyprus are hidden gems that have clients all over the world. Being very diverse and an island with incredible amounts of foreign investment, it will not be long until the tailors there will be well known on the international stage. Diplomats and the high rollers of Eastern Europe and the Middle East alike all choose 139 Gladstone or Kristo Avraam as their tailors for the finest in bespoke suits.


Armed with a camera and kilos of fabric sample books, they set out to Limassol and Nicosia to meet the tailors everyone was talking about. After one look at what Kapra offers they were able to set up facetime calls to further discuss aspects of production, our supply chain and quantities. This format proved to be a successful way to meet new tailors in different corners of the world.
