Where do you source your materials from?
"The materials used in Atelier AZZA are sourced from Italy, Asia, and India, along with Swarovski crystals from Germany."

How long does it take to create one garment — from concept to completion?
"The production of a garment can take anywhere from four-to-10 weeks. I usually spend one-to-two weeks in the design/prototyping process and a minimum of two weeks in production. Keep in mind all of garments are hand-embellished, hand-cut, and hand-stitched, so there is a lot of labor that goes into the piece."
