How It Works

  • Step #1

    Select a design from our online collection or commission a custom piece. Consultations are available in-person in Melbourne or online via video. We guide you through the styling details and capture 18 precise body measurements to draft your unique pattern.

  • Step #2

    Your specifications are sent to our workshop. Over 3 weeks, your garment is individually cut and constructed to your exact profile and measurements.

  • Step #3

    Once your suit arrives, we meet for a final fitting to verify the fit and drape. We review the garment together to ensure it meets your expectations before final handover.
