Our Story

Hi, I’m Chintu Grace, founder of Tiedye& Sorts and now extended my vision to Uplift—a brand rooted in faith, purpose, and encouragement. I live in beautiful Buckinghamshire, UK, with my husband and our two wonderful children. Originally from Zambia, I moved to the UK just a week before the first COVID-19 lockdown. That season of transition—adjusting to a new country, marriage, and motherhood—was challenging, but it also deepened my faith and refined my calling.

Creativity has always been a part of me. Growing up, I watched my mother, a stay-at-home mum, work with fabric and batik, which sparked my love for textiles and design. I even ran a tie-dye business in Zambia before relocating.

In 2023, with faith as my foundation, I took a step toward building Tiedye and Sorts, a brand that celebrated individuality. However, as my journey evolved, so did my purpose.

Uplift is my new focus—a brand dedicated to inspiring and Equipping believers with apparel that aligns with their mission and faith. It is for faith-driven individuals who want to express their beliefs, purpose, and identity in Christ through what they wear and consume.

Every piece is designed not just as clothing but as a declaration of purpose, faith, and impact.

Thank you for being here. I pray that Uplift empowers and encourages you to walk in the calling God has placed on your life as well as stay strong in your walk with God.
