01
Take a deposit before work starts
Record the deposit against the order, so the studio always knows what has been paid and what is still owed on every piece.
The pressure in a Nigerian bespoke studio rewards records that hold under volume. Deposits may arrive by transfer or cash, clients expect to be remembered and busy seasons punish a studio running only on memory.
The method, plainly
02
Price in naira against real costs
Fabric, labour and revisions should be priced in the studio currency, so the price holds when material costs move.
03
Keep every order stage visible
Cut, sewn, first fitting, adjustment, ready and collected should be visible at a glance when the workroom is full.
04
Hold client and payment records together
Who ordered, what they paid, what they owe, their measurements and their preferences should be in one place.
When many pieces are in the room for the same wedding weekend, memory is not a system. The studio that can see its work clearly is the studio that protects trust under pressure.
TexoIQ was built for studios that run real volume, in their own currency, with the order, the payment and the client held together.
Common questions
Should Nigerian bespoke studios take deposits
A deposit protects the studio from funding materials and labour before the client has committed fully.
Why should orders be staged
Visible stages make it easier to spot delays before they become missed fittings or collection problems.
Why does local currency matter
The studio should price against the costs it actually pays and the currency its clients use.
