VALUES
Garment longevity starts with the perfect fit.
We live in an era of fast fashion. The life cycle of clothing has dramatically shortened and continues to shorten. Many of the clothes we buy remain unused and one of the main reasons for this is that they don’t fit on our bodies. Ready-made garments are designed with a specific body type in mind. Due to this, they often have slightly too long sleeves or legs, the wrong length of the back or looseness / tightness on the shoulders or waist, for example.
WE SOLVE THESE CHALLENGES BY PROVIDING QUALITY REPAIR AND MODIFICATION TO MAKE YOUR CLOTHES SUITABLE.
We have a long experience in designing and sewing. The reason we love the industry is due to the joy of solving the above-mentioned challenges.
Each customer has individual needs and desires. As professionals, we offer our customers just the right and satisfactory solution. Our long experience in the field shows that a happy customer is a combination of mutual understanding and quality craftsmanship.
