Meet The CEO
“Man of style and taste.”
TAKU CLAUDE, CEO at TC Design Classic hails from the northwest region(Batibo) and is currently in Yaounde (Biyemassi Cameroon). He has a degree in environmental science from the University of Buea. After graduating from the University of Buea, he moved to the capital city Yaounde in search of a job. 5 months later he couldn’t get one. way back in form 3 back in his secondary school days, he used to spend time with his dad in his shop. His dad popularly known as Safari was a tailor and the most famous in his generation. (may his gentle soul continue to rest in the lord). During his second vacation with him at the shop, he could stitch a trouser and shirts already. That made him develop a serious passion for tailoring. That is how he became a tailor. 5 months of unemployment got him thinking that as a graduate, he need to fetch for himself and stop depending on his parents. He spoke with his dad and told him he will like to start up a small tailoring shop in Yaounde so he could take care of himself rather than rush to him for financial assistance every now and then. His dad bought the idea, traveled to Yaounde, rented a room, bought a machine, a mattress, a table, and an iron, paid rent for 5 months gave him 20k, Wow this is how he started his career. He has been working overtime strategizing and it’s working for him.

Our Mission
Our mission is to fill-in the void in fashion designing with outstanding designs.
Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while.
