CHOOSE CUSTOM OVER FAST FASHION

You are unique. The best items in your closet should be too. Our suits are completely customizable, from the cut, color, fabric and lining, down to the buttons, buttonholes and stitching. They are also full canvassed and handmade at one of the world’s best family-run factories. The attention to detail and overall manufacturing quality is second to none. All of our fabrics are sourced from the best mills in Italy, France and the UK. This is a by-appointment-only business, which means Melissa and her tailors in NYC work with you one-on-one to ensure the best possible result in terms of design and fit. It also means that your shopping experience is more fun, personalized and interactive than when you walk into a standard retail store. There might even be a cocktail or two involved..
