Facing up to the times

In keeping with the coronaviral times, a Dandenong fashion retailer has unveiled a range of flamboyant face masks.

Taxi Designs has launched its re-useable fashion statements in flamingo, animal print and polka dot designs.

Each costs $5.

Seeing the growing need for affordable masks, manager Connie Styllianou climbed on the store’s sewing machine.

“Of course I had to make sure they had a fashion twist to them.”

With little sewing experience, Ms Styllianou had little luck trying to repair the sewing machine. A customer stepped in and gifted their own little-used machine.

“After that I started sewing masks every night.

“It has given me a new sense of purpose in these troubled times and it feels good to provide a product that the community really needs.”

The masks are available at Taxi Designs, Level 3 at Armada Dandenong Plaza. Details: 9792 4105.
