About Cheeky Seats
Cheeky Seats is a small boutique tailoring company. We hand craft all of our items in our cabin studio located in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, about 30 miles northwest of Philadelphia.
We personally make every item you see on our website. Every seat cover is handmade to order. Nothing is factory made or outsourced.
We specialize in hand tailored seat covers for scooters, and decided to extend our line to the personal items we make for ourselves, on our daily rides. We go wherever the road takes us.
MEET THE MAKERS
Rafa is a 3rd Generation Tailor. Born in Puebla, Mexico, he learned to sew in the family business, making blue jeans. His experience and knowledge of sewing techniques and construction is nothing short of incredible. He is a true Master of the craft.
Growing up in the garment business, young Rafa had many annoying sewing related chores. The story goes that when Rafa came of age, he dramatically proclaimed that he would "Never Sew Again!"
Rafa rides a 2003 Stella 2T, but can sometimes be caught riding around town on a Honda Metropolitan.
Rafa is also an accomplished dancer and makes killer authentic Mexican food. He likes to take selfies.
Howdy. I'm Suzy and unlike Rafa, I grew up going to summer camp and learning how to make things with popsicle sticks and macrame. I started sewing to make my own bohemian clothes in "Home Economics" class, which was exceedingly uncool at the time.
I later went on to get a BFA in Sculpture from Temple University's Tyler School of Art. As part of that curriculum, I spent a year living in Rome, Italy, where I fell in love with scooters. I was mesmerized by the riders; impeccably clad men and women coming and going with such ease and grace. They made life look so...effortless. I would sit in the cafe and watch them glide by, and daydream of living that lifestyle. Little did I know that one day my whole world would revolve around scooters!
I am the designer, storyteller and geek of the operation. I ride a Buddy 125.
