The Foundation
Our approach to tailoring is rooted in classical techniques passed down through generations of artisans. We learned our craft in the tradition of European ateliers, where precision is non-negotiable and shortcuts are unthinkable.
Where tradition meets precision
Our approach to tailoring is rooted in classical techniques passed down through generations of artisans. We learned our craft in the tradition of European ateliers, where precision is non-negotiable and shortcuts are unthinkable.
We employ both hand-stitching and machine techniques, choosing each based on what the garment requires. Hand-stitching for flexibility and finesse. Machine work for strength and consistency. Both executed with equal mastery.
Before any alteration or repair begins, we measure with careful accuracy. Understanding how a garment sits on the body, where it pulls, where it drapes, informs every decision we make.
Different fabrics require different approaches. Wool behaves differently than silk. Linen moves differently than cotton. We read fabric like a language, understanding its properties, limitations, and possibilities.
To alter or repair a garment properly, you must understand how it was built. We study construction methods, pattern making, and garment architecture to ensure our work integrates seamlessly with the original.
A perfect hem. An invisible stitch. A precisely placed button. These details separate adequate work from exceptional work. We obsess over them.
We hold ourselves to high standards of quality. Every garment that leaves our studio receives careful attention and professional craftsmanship, whether it's a simple hem or a complex reconstruction.
