OUR STORY
Pastor Alfy started wearing clergy shirts since his ordination in 2006. He had personally tried several brands of clergy shirts worldwide, buying them in retail and online stores.
He was never satisfied with the material and quality. The shirts that he liked especially 100% cotton shirts are either rare or very expensive.
One fine day he prayerfully decided to manufacture the shirts himself. Having more than 5 years of experience in a large Garment exports company in Chennai, India, he knows a great deal about garment manufacturing from designing to packing.
He worked with some finest designers in India. That knowledge helped him to identify right people to collaborate with in Chennai, India for which he made several visits which resulted in launching his own brand AlfyNewYork. Rest is history.
