Our personalised approach ensures a perfect fit and individually tailored finish, with consideration to the condition of the garment and type of fabric: delicate silk or wool. We also have expertise in enhancing garments that involve intricate details like beading or other customised embellishments, incorporating careful workmanship throughout.
