A Nigerian fashion designer has gone online to share her ordeal with a difficult customer who gave an unusual instruction regarding a dress she ordered.
The designer, identified on TikTok as @hikkychase_luxe, said the client paid ₦210,000 for the dress and insisted that it must be ironed using only bottled water. According to her, any other type of water would irritate her skin.
To fulfil the request, the designer purchased bottled water and ironed the outfit as instructed. However, the issue escalated when the customer rejected the dress after seeing the video of the final process. She complained that the designer used the wrong brand of bottled water.
The woman allegedly began threatening to arrest and jail the tailor if she did not refund the payment.
The client said:
“I had to re watch this video again like 3 times to be sure what I saw was clear!! That isn’t what I told you…. What’s Evan bottle water!?? I told you Eva!!… Eva! Eva !! Eva!! Please refund me my part payment that I made…. I’m not interested. I’m not balancing you oh! and I’m giving you 7 hours to refund the deposit I already made…7 hours or you will be behind the bars! That I can promise you. I saw your page and I was really intrigued with your works! Got to my turn and you’re offering me very annoying service! I didn’t send you Evan bottle water.”
The tailor explained:
“A client wrote me saying she wanted to make a dress. After making the dress we had an agreement that her dress will be ironed with bottled water so I charged her for three bottled water to make the dress which she agreed to.
But she didn’t specify which brand of water, so I went for Swan which I used because it is a very good product. She asked for a video, which I sent to her, na there kasala burst o. She said she didn’t ask me to use swan that she wanted Eva. I tried my best to explain to her that…”
