I love this tank top story, it’s so cheerful and makes me grin from ear to ear. Suresh’s mum must have loved him very much because it shines out of this lovely piece.

Oh! what an amazing story - l'm so happy the tank top finally fits in 2020 ? Aged 11, to save buying another in 2 years, my mum bought my expensive school uniform blazer large enough to grow into, but l never did. At 16 l was still a tichy 4'3" and the blazer looked like a huge bathrobe. She took up the hem 4" so the pockets went past my knees. My hands were always invisible. My school pals never stopped laughing. l cannot wait to ZOOM in at 6 this evening for more Suresh family history. What a gorgeous baby and how beautifully his mother dressed him at four ... the mini knitted waistcoat .. the immaculate shoes ... And today Stylish Suresh really has got swag and a great eye for my very favourite jewel colours.

Wow! What a truly great story. This colourful tank top, made and received with such love & affection. It wouldn’t look out of place at the V&A!

I loved reading this. Wonderful remembered detail – the wool kept in a bag from Woolworths in Aldgate East. The number ten needles. Who would ever think of a tank top as a precious family heirloom?

I have been to a couple of these talks ‘live’ and can thoroughly recommend them. Suresh and Stefan have a real rapport and there is always lots of good friendly banter.

And of course it is a wonderful chance to hear more about Suresh’s back story, especially about his parents who come across as very special people.

The book is also great, and is beautifully produced.

It is just a pity that Zoom technology won’t allow us to enjoy the delicious food which is usually served at a Suresh event…
