This was just a magical experience: Id fallen in love with a particular fabric that had been featured in an email blast, so went to the store... and got to decide everything: what sort of garment, how to execute it - everything. Ive never had anything custom made and it just felt so Special! Like Queen for a Day, ha! Turn-around time was exactly as promised, and the finished product was even better than Id envisioned. Cutest darn bicycle skirt on the planet! :) WITH POCKETS! (eee! skirts with pockets are The Best!) Nita is a delight to work with; so nice, so professional, and so responsive. I also feel strongly about supporting local businesses, and Mansa Wear is right around the corner from where I live. In sum, it really is... Magic. :)

What a joy it was to find MansaWear owner,Nita Brown, when I was searching for someoneto make an outfit for, not me, but for my newlyacquired Baby Nancy Doll made by ShindanaToys in Los Angeles, California in 1968. Nitaimmediately embraced the project and helpedme find just the right fabric for this 13 inch doll.I couldn’t be happier with the finished productand the way my unusual request was graciouslyhandled. Thank you, Nita!

Beautifully curated space, that provides a virtual tour of fashion and style from across the African Diaspora! Every custim-fitted item is one-of-a-kind original: you will be the talk (and envy) at any gathering or virtual soiree!

I am in the gold and purple and it was beautifuly made just to fit me. I was able to pick my own fabric and the time for it to be made was fast and hassle free. I got tons of compliments and would definitely buy another dress.

I wholly enjoyed my shopping experience at MansaWear. In addition to the stand-out clothes and accessories, the business owner goes above and beyond to create and maintain an atmosphere that is safe, clean, and fun. I would definitely recommend this store to anyone looking for unique pieces as the clothes can be custom designed and made for you. MansaWear is simply a MUST-VISIT!(The purse I purchased)

I want to thank everyone at MansaWear for a) the beautiful material and many choices of fabric of your masks and b) for making such a comfortable mask! My husband and I wore the masks out and were so pleased with the fit and comfort. You are always on the cutting edge of fashion, have incredible vision, and serving once again, the community. I highly recommend getting a mask from MansaWear...you may want to get more than one because they are the best available in town. Its important to support our local and family-run businesses!

I couldnt be more grateful to Nita. She made my wedding skirt possible. Not only to create the idea I had in my head, but to do it during a pandemic! Beautiful, smooth, great service and the special touch of a custom made piece.

Love this shop! I purchased a gorgeous skirt right off the rack and it fits perfectly. I got so many compliments on it - and it has big enough pockets to hold my phone which is a big bonus. Can’t wait to go back and have something custom made!

One of my new favorite stores in Rochester! The store owner Nita is a lovely person, and the other worker Gloria is also very friendly! The clothing fabrics come from Ghana, and are tailored to your measurements. There are also beautiful shoes, bags, and jewelry made in store or by local artists. I recently purchased a gorgeous skirt which had bold green and pink hues. Nita altered the skirt to my size and gave me a free tote bag with some cloth from Ghana! I will most definitely return!

Great business to work with in designing my own authentic Nigerian formal wear jacket. Timelines from delivery to additional tailoring were as planned and I am happy with the service I received, as well as the quality of the product. I will definitely return in the future to do more work.

I had a wonderful experience in this gorgeous store. Lots to look at and enjoy. I purchased two items and I am so excited to wear and show them off. I intend to go back very soon. Nita was knowledgeable, polite and so much fun. A must when in the Park Ave area of Rochester.

While dropping off our daughter at school, my husband and I were exploring Rochester and discovered MansaWear - what a delight! The owner, Nita, and her associate Gloria are such cool people - just fun to talk to. And the store itself is a wonderland of colorful and innovative clothing (for both men and women), and jewelry, at excellent price points for the custom nature of the items. I chose a bicycle skirt that is made from unique, quality material - AND it has pockets! It is like wearing . . . art! I will return to MansaWear whenever we are back in Rochester.

I just started working with Nita on a custom made dress for my sons wedding and felt comfortable with Nita and her process right away. She made plenty of time for me and blended my idea with her expert input. It was fun and I cant wait to wear the final product!

MansaWear Hits the Spot!This vibrant boutique on Park Avenue houses a variety of fashionable shoes, jewelry, clothing and accessory options. Whether you choose to buy off the rack or select a bright bold Ghanaian fabric for a custom design, the options at MansaWear are limitless.

Love this shop I got a skirt and shirt from there and I love it! Great products and customer service! I will for sure go back.

I need a dress in over two weeks for graduation and they were able to get it done and it was created at a very high standard. I have received many comments on the quality and style of the dress. As a bigger woman it was nice to have some there who wanted to make the experience calming and professional. I will be getting other dresses done there very soon.

I LOVE my maxi skirt from MansaWear! So nice to be able to have a unique piece to wear for special events and jewelry from her to go with it. Nita is the best to work with - she even went shopping for me for tops to go with my skirt for our sons graduation. Cant wait to have a custom midi skirt made next!

Nita is so great to work with--shes enthusiastic and creative, and only sells excellent products. I get compliments every time I wear my pieces from MansaWear. Highly recommended.

I have purchased a few things from MansaWear. My latest purchase was a red jacket. It is simply beautiful. The items are unique and very versatile. Nita has done a wonderful job with her business. Stop by her shop on 367 Park Ave.

I wanted some tunics but with the prints that are found mostly in dashikis. I was able to get the tunics custom made. I has full measurements taken and emailed to Mansa Wear after which I worked with someone from the shop to pick fabric and get an explanation of how the tunics would be made. I am thoroughly pleases with the tunics. They fit perfectly. The quality is top. And I really did get exactly what I wanted.

The designs, fabrics, and unique business model are an asset to the Park Avenue neighborhood.

I absolutely love my dress from MansaWear! Not only is it stylish and one of a kind, but it also fits me perfectly! I have scoliosis and am quite petite so shopping for clothes is usually pretty stressful. Working with Nita was fun and completely stress-free. I can not wait to wear my dress!

Absolutely love my experiences with MansaWear! My Maid and Matron of Honor in my wedding had beautiful custom made dresses. Their attire made the overall look of the wedding special!

I had a skirt altered to fit me since it was the last one, and the work was beautiful and timely. The customer service was also great. Thank you very much!

I had a shirt custom made at MansaWear. I absolutely love it and have received several compliments already. The shirt fits perfectly because it was made to my size. Come in and try it for yourself.

I tired on the Asymmetric Tunic and looked in the mirror- it matched my glasses perfectly. I didnt even notice when it was on the rack!! Someday I hope to have a custom suit made. All her designs are beautiful.

Nita was incredibly welcoming and her personality was as vibrant as the colors and patters in her own shop! This was a great shopping experience. I stumbled upon her little store front during Park Ave Festival where I spent a good half an hour trying on her unique patterns and custom dresses. She designs all of her pieces and they are manufactured in Ghana.If you like unique, colorful, and patterned textiles you should definitely come check out her store because she will take your measurements on the spot and you can chose whichever material and style you want!She carried, dresses, skirts, shirts and smaller accessories for women and she had a pretty good sized inventory for men too. I really enjoyed my visit and hope to come back and try even more on!

I bought a Lattice Cape last year and absolutely love it. Wherever I go I get tons of compliments. Lots of fun to wear!

My experience at MansaWear was a wonderful experience. Not only did I learn about the origins of the beautiful fabric but I was able to ask Nita questions about customized dresses, tops and skirts. I spent almost 2 hours in the boutique ooohing and ahhhing over all the fabric. Its really a must see in person, everything is high-quality and made very well.MansaWear designs will always make you look like the most authentic and amazing women/man in the room. I guarantee it - I will be back very soon! Thank you Nita for an amazing experience.

I received excellent service and was confident that I would continue business with MansaWear! I definitely plan to purchase more clothing from MansaWear! Truly appreciate my experience!

I loved the shopping experience and the customization suggestions I received while at Mansawear. The fabrics are stylish and of great quality. Ill be back to purchase more pieces for sure!!

The dress made for me was everything I wanted. I received several compliments. The service was excellent and speedy.

I had such an amazing experience working with Nita, the owner of Mansa Wear. She worked hard to ensure the fit of my bicycle skirt was absolutely perfect. I feel so special wearing the skirt.

Had been in the market for a while looking for a Nero suite for my class reunion.Mansa wear came highly recommended.Upon my arrival to the boutique i was greeted by very professional staff.Miss Nita helped me find the most beautiful suit for the occasion.Youve got to check this little gem out.

Ive bought two things at MansaWear--a bicycle skirt which I bought off the rack, and a dress which I had custom made for me. Both garments are absolutely beautiful! I get compliments whenever I wear the bicycle skirt, and the dress fits me beautifully and is exactly what I was looking for. I cant recommend MansaWear enough!

Ive purchase a couple of things from MansaWear and couldnt have been happier - Ive received tons of compliments. Stongly recommend MansaWear if youre looking for something unique and beautiful!

Wonderful place. Her clothing line is beautiful. I highly recommend Mansawear to everyone.

An absolutely beautiful boutique! I saw a lattice work cape at MansaWear and I asked Nita (the designer & owner) if she could make something similar in a scarf/shawl. We talked about dimensions and what Id like the scarf to look like- and I am blown away by the finished result. The colorful fabrics and unique designs make all of MansaWears clothing feel special and I get a sense of joy when wearing this scarf. How can you not be excited to own a piece of beautiful artwork that you can wear? I went back to buy my daughter a purse (her second MansaWear purse!) and as always, Nita was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. As an artist myself, it means a lot to me to be able to talk about the design process and the origin of the gorgeous fabrics that are used to make the clothes and purses. I definitely recommend this shop to everyone!

Great products and great customer service. I recommend MansaWear where you can get something one of a kind.

Just purchased my third MansaWear piece. Love it!!! Great quality, great fit. I did a post on Facebook and got tons of likes. Thank you MansaWear. Ill be back!

Mansawear is simply divine. I ran into this lovely shop while taking a walk on Park Avenue. The space is not only gorgeous and intimate, but also extremely well-organized. Further, Nita Brown is a not only fashionable and knowledgeable, but extremely warm and welcoming. During my first visit, I fell in love with one of the beautiful Ghanian skirts, and had it altered successfully to fit my frame. I am so happy I connected with Nita Brown and Mansawear, and this will certainly not be my last experience with her stylish collection !

Wonderful service and a great experience
