M
amayashi designs are best described as unique, comfortable and conscious. The skirts, dresses, tops and bags are recognizably Mamayashi and the Jamaican designer has amassed quite a following of loyal customers who are big fans of her designs. Mama Yashi has been designing since 2005. Sewing skills are in her blood as she inherited her talents from her tailor father but the deciding moment for Mama Yashi was the birth of her son. As she wanted to stay at home to raise her child but still run a business the young mother decided to start a clothing line. With the decision made, Mama Yashi bought her first sewing machine and put her painting, art and sewing skills to good use. With positive feedback from her friends and family to boost her confidence in her designs Mama Yashi soon took her business to the next level and set up shop online and found various outlets to carry her designs.
