01 — The workshop

Thirty-one years, one pair of hands

I trained under a master tailor and opened this shop in 1995. Everything that leaves here is cut, pinned and pressed by me — no work is sent out, and no fitting is rushed.

Most people come in because something almost fits. A jacket that pulls at the shoulder, trousers an inch too long, a dress bought for a wedding that needs taking in at the waist. Those jobs get the same care as a full bespoke commission: you stand on the block, I pin the cloth on you, and you come back once to check it before anything is sewn down.

For bespoke work, expect three appointments over four to six weeks — measuring, a basted fitting in the half-made garment, and a final fitting. You choose the cloth from books I keep in the shop, or bring your own.
