Boateng Tailoring
Kofi Boateng
Kofi Boateng tailors wax print in Takoradi with a half-lining, so the jacket moves in the heat.
The hand
“A jacket should breathe in Takoradi. I line only what needs lining and let the print do the rest.”

Terms
Kofi's commissions typically fall between $500 and $2,600 (quoted and paid in sterling, £380 – £2,000), with a lead time of around 6 weeks. A deposit secures the slot and fabric; the balance is released in stages you approve as the garment takes shape. Every piece is quoted on its own brief — there is no tariff.
Verified, and what that means
Everrissa checked Kofi's identity, workroom and past work before this atelier was listed, and every commission is run through Everrissa's milestone payments.
Reviews are earned, not imported.
Only a client whose commission with Kofi has been completed through Everrissa can leave one here. The first will appear when the first piece is delivered.
