Alterations
Made to fit you, precisely
From a simple trouser hem to reshaping a tailored jacket, every alteration is measured, pinned and finished by hand with the care your clothes deserve.
A garment that fits properly changes how you feel in it. Our alterations team works across everyday clothing, tailoring and fine fabrics, adjusting each piece so it sits naturally on you — not almost right, exactly right.
With over 60 years of combined experience, we handle premium and designer pieces every day, and treat every garment that comes through the door with the same attention.
