We serve not the garment,
but the woman who wears it.
She expresses herself with confidence and ease; soft, yet never without direction - this is where our understanding of couture begins.

Q&A
Before your first commission,
the questions most often asked
How does a commission work?
- One. An appointment at the atelier, or a visit to you - remote commissions are reserved for returning clients. The design is discussed and measurements taken, about 1.5 hours.
- Two. A toile fitting, roughly 15 to 20 days later.
- Three. Delivery of the finished garment, roughly 20 to 30 days after that.
What does a commission cost?
- Suits, coats and evening wear from RMB 13,000; dresses from RMB 8,000
- A single jacket from RMB 8,000; trousers, skirts and waistcoats from RMB 5,000
- Made-to-measure tailoring, RMB 5,000 - 8,000
- The final figure follows from cloth, technique, complexity, fitting adjustments and the written proposal.
