PREMIUM EUROPEAN FABRICS





EXCELLENCE FROM EVERY ANGLE

PREMIUM FABRICS
We house an extensive range of luxury European fabrics, handpicked for every season — allowing you to always sport the latest trends with a comfortable and fashionable edge. The variety of patterns, textures and weights to choose from gives you the ultimate freedom to craft a suit that stands out — whatever the occasion.

LATEST DESIGNS
As your personalised pattern is created from your measurements, it allows for a suit to be made that is unique to you — and your style of choice. The process allows us to customise the result, from lining to your embroidered initials — you tell us what you're looking for, and we’ll create the suit that matches.

SIGNATURE FIT
Each one of our tailored suits is made on-demand, cut and stitched by hand to your ultimate preference — for an immaculate, flawfless fit. We'll ensure every detail of the garment sits well, drapes properly and perfectly moulds to your body – yet allows sufficient room for movement and for the garment to breathe. Then we cap it off with finer touches of your choice — like lapel stitching, button design, and pocket style.
