On a half an acre plot in Nairobi’s Garden Estate, off Thika Road, lies a car upholstery business.
At the compound, all manner of cars are lined; luxury, vans, and vintage. Workers are busy destroying and remaking, stitching and fitting, as cars leave and others enter. Here, they deal with anything car interior – roof lining, dashboards, steering wheels, door panels, floor carpeting, seat fitting.
