Fisher Fashions is owned by Harold Fisher who employs Dino (his cutter and handyman), and a workforce of 5 women - Patsy (the shop floor steward), Xoli, Rochelle, Katrien and Vera. Another regular visitor to the factory floor is January, a freelance designer whom Fisher employs from time to time. Fisher`s over-demanding wife Bernice, also pops in and out of the factory - usually to check up on Harold and the girls - and her presence is always certain to provoke conflict of some kind.
