A workroom, not a showroom.
Three generations cutting cloth on the same wooden floor. Here is how — and why — we work.
From a single wooden mannequin, in 1962.
My grandfather opened the atelier with one mannequin, two pairs of shears, and a roll of Italian wool he'd carried home on the boat. He cut every jacket himself for thirty years.
Today, our cutters are his apprentices' apprentices. Every commission still starts the same way: a paper pattern, a basted first fitting, and a conversation about how you'll actually wear the piece.
We don't keep ready stock. We don't have a sale rail. Everything here is made for one person, in your own cloth, to a pattern that becomes yours.
— Arjun, head cutter
Three principles, one workroom.
Hand over machine
Buttonholes, collar pad-stitch, lapel roll — done by hand. Machines hem trousers; hands shape jackets.
Three fittings, always
We baste a calico, fit it on you, re-cut. Then a second fitting in the cloth, and a final polish. No piece leaves without three sittings.
Cloth you choose
Our fabric library carries Italian, English, and Indian mills. Pick what you'll actually live in — we'll guide, never push.
