"For the past 7 years, we have been steadily increasing the
amounts of handwork involved in the creation of our pieces,
and the handmade component of our work is one of the highest
in the designer industry, bar none. Our focus has not
been
just to reproduce effects of "a day gone by," but to
arrive at new and forward-looking applications of hand-work
on modern 21st century life and design as we know it. Using
rare vintage fabric pieces to reconstruct into individual
and personal lining stories allows our customers to own and
wear something artistic and uniquely their own, on their
body, without having to let anyone else know it. Our
working handmade sleeve buttonholes combined with the
soft, light
forms we are now creating give you a
feel unlike any other tailored jacket or coat. It's not about stiff, heavy,
over-construction
and padding. It's not about overworking trying to recreate
the past. Even though just one of our
buttonholes takes at
least 8 minutes, there is a reason to do it . We put our
handwork into where it counts today:
comfort, beauty,
usefulness, long life and maximizing the personal character
of every piece we make."
