LUXURY CRAFTSMANSHIP IN BESPOKE TAILORING

 

You will have understood that what has always characterized sartorial art is its artisanal and manual side. Luxury craftsmanship, in bespoke tailoring, represents the right balance between tradition and modernity. To create exclusive pieces, a luxury fashion house relies on traditional artisanal skills:

 

  • embroidery with gold thread , silk or pearls on a pretty dress;
  • the creation of impeccably finished buttonholes;
  • fitting lining for a suit jacket;
  • invisible seams for a perfect finish;
  • discreet hand hemming for a beautiful drape of the fabric.

 

Luxury brands, by preserving these skills and manufacturing outfits that last over time, also encourage less consumption of fabrics and clothing . More environmentally friendly, luxury craftsmanship contributes to a more sustainable and ethical future in the world of custom tailoring.

 

 

THE PROCESS OF CREATING A CUSTOM OUTFIT

 

In a good fashion house, the design of an outfit follows a rigorous creative process , which can be found more or less in each workshop:

  • The initial consultation  : this is the meeting with the client to discuss their tastes, their wishes and to find out if the outfit will be worn on a daily basis or on a special occasion.
  • Taking measurements: in the workshop, the tailor-made tailor will calculate the person’s very precise measurements, to guarantee a perfect fit to their body shape. Trousers require up to 10 measuring points, a shirt up to 20 and even more for a dress…
  • The choice of materials  : depending on the season, the desired look and the way you move, you will need to select high quality fabrics. For a large suit, for example, we will favor worsted wool, tweed, silk, cotton or linen.
  • The creation of the garment and its adjustments  : it is the making of the outfit which begins with the manufacture of a canvas pattern that the person will test during the first fitting, with more or fewer adjustments depending on the piece.
  • Final delivery  : after checking the comfort and aesthetic appearance, the time has come to deliver the tailor-made outfit to its happy owner, to take it home.

 

The cost and delivery times depend on the complexity of the outfit and the level of customization: count on a budget of a few hundred to several thousand euros, and a wait that can last many months. Remember that your dress or suit will look great on you, and will also last a very long time.
