About The Golden Scissors

About The Golden Scissors

On the Scheldestraat in Vlissingen you'll find De Gouden Schaar: a trusted address for clothing repairs, dry cleaning services and tailored craftsmanship. But behind the sewing machine is more than a tailor, here works Mustafa Okur, a man whose life story is closely intertwined with his craft.

From the hustle and bustle of Amsterdam to the tranquility of Vlissingen

Originally from Turkey, Mustafa began his career in the 1990s in his brother's studio in Amsterdam. "We worked in ready-to-wear, producing large numbers of clothes with lots of staff," he says. "But when the costs became too high, we switched to clothing repair."

Twenty years ago, Mustafa, just married, decided to leave Amsterdam with his young family for a new future. He traveled all over the country, looking for a place that offered peace, security and quality of life. He found that place in Flushing. "I wanted a safe, clean environment for my children. Here I know my neighbors and I know where my children are. You don't find that peace and quiet in the Randstad."

From Walstraat to Scheldtstraat

On March 1, 2004, De Gouden Schaar first opened its doors on Walstraat. In 2014, the business moved to Scheldestraat, mainly because of better accessibility. "Customers wanted to be able to bring and pick up their clothes quickly. Here on Scheldestraat, that's easier. And if you do good work, customers will continue to find you wherever you are."

Mustafa's philosophy is clear: quality comes first. "I only entertain what I can make really good. Honesty is important. My customers appreciate that. They know they can count on me."

Trust and professionalism

Whether it's shortening pants, mending a coat or steaming a quilt or curtain, Mustafa delivers his work with extreme precision. "My customers are often people who have an eye for detail. They come not just for a repair, but for craftsmanship. And I give them that."

Future plans

For now, Mustafa is not thinking of quitting. "As long as my health allows and my children have not yet graduated, I will continue. This work is in my heart. It's not just a job, it's my life."
