Hi linners!

August is that sweet spot — summer still blazing, events in full swing, and fashion serving heat on and off the runway.
This month at Umoja linn, we’re soaking up the style, celebrating YOU 🫵🏽, and getting one step closer to unveiling our brand-new platform (👀…you are on the waitlist, right?).

#Linnk-Up Moments 👗

From virtual measurements to PERFECTLY FITTED gowns, our community does not miss! We’ve seen more buyers than ever leaning into bespoke for weddings, graduations, and milestone events - because nothing says “you” like something made just for you.
