We offer tailoring and original garments, designed for the individual, using sustainable and ethical fabrics and methods. Working with a mix of vintage/ secondhand, deadstock, organic cotton, linen, wool and silk fabrics, we produce one-of-a-kind handmade garments.

We believe in the right to repair! We will undertake alterations, adaptations and complex repairs to help you make your loved clothes last.

We cater to all genders, and all shapes and sizes: all bodies are unique.

We all know the fast fashion system is a bit of a problem – for the planet, for many of the people who work in it, and for us as consumers.

The tragedy of the modern era is that we have turned fashion into an environmental catastrophe whilst also losing touch with some of the intrinsic joys of dressing: wearing clothes that fit us, as individuals, that celebrate the incredible beauty and richness of natural fabrics, and that are well-made enough to last.

But here’s the good news: sartorial style and sustainability are not mutually exclusive; quite the opposite. 

Nothing is more sustainable than the well-made garment that fits your body and your sense of identity, that you connect with, care for and keep in your wardrobe. Choosing slow fashion is choosing to minimise the environmental harm caused by your clothes, it’s choosing fair pay and conditions for the makers, and it’s choosing a better experience and connection with your clothes.

We have a few tried and tested patterns that we offer as made-to-measure. Choose one, send us your body measurements, and we’ll make it up for you. Pages coming soon!

Sometimes the thing you have in mind just isn’t out there. We’re happy to work with you to come up with the perfect garment.

As Orsola de Castro says, ‘Loved clothes last’. We’ll help you keep your clothes on the road. Message us for a quote for alterations and repairs.
