5 out of 5 starsLove the trousers! They’re a bit long for me so I’ll have to have them hemmed, but that is usually the case for me so I’m not surprised. The material is wonderfully light & I’m looking forward to wearing these all summer long.

5 out of 5 starsThese pants are amazingly accurate for their time period and they’re made so well! I was worried they would arrive with impossible wrinkles or not be true to fit, but I was wrong! Shipping was extremely fast as well! I’ll definitely be back to shop from this shop in the future and I highly recommend they’re products and speedy services! Thank you kindly!

5 out of 5 starsIt was sent quickly and it arrived very fast. I was very impressed by the high level of service.
I normally like to try clothing on but I have communicated a lot with Sunny and she is always very helpful and patient with my many questions. I decided to treat myself for my birthday and these trousers are amazing they are very high waisted and very loosely cut just how I wanted them.
I got the altered and they fit like a dream with 2 inches turn ups and braces buttons added. They are one of the best trousers out there for that 30s style I strive for. I just wish I had a matching white jacket for my merchant ivory look. -

vintage style menswear
Through the clothes I make, I want to bring back the elegance and quality of the past. Before I execute my designs, I spend many hours looking into the originals that are the source of my work. The details, the construction, the fabric, they all matter. I try to get to the fundamentals of a garment, and work out what makes them iconic. The process of the making involves learning the old techniques, and combine them with modern techniques and sometimes give a bit of a modern twist to the designs. I prefer to work with quality materials carefully sourced in Germany and the Netherlands. The woolen fabrics for suits are bought at one of the oldest wholesalers for menswear fabrics in Europe. The bio cottons are made in the Netherlands and the jerseys knits are all GOTS certified.
My garments are made with care and skill in Romania, where miss Diana runs a small factory. I make the design, the pattern and the first sample. Than it is send to Romania and the production samples are made. After checking the sample and maybe change a thing or two all the fabrics, buttons and zippers are shipped to Romania. The patterns are digitized and graded to my size charts, and production begins. Because these are all small series there is still a lot of handwork in every piece.

I had my education as a custume designer. After graduation I mainly worked as an independent artist. My love for jazz and Big Band put me back on track. I started making clothing for dancers and bands. I love how it all has come together now.

Small factory run by dedicated owner. They work mainly for designer labels and are able to work closely together with the designer and make small orders. In the process I make the designer sample in detail and the pattern. I source the materials. The factory makes limited edition copies.

Frequently asked questions
What are delivery times for custom orders?
It depends on many things. How complicated it is to make, if there is a waiting list (usually there is!) and if I depend on suppliers for a special fabric their turnover times.
I will always give an estimate, please understand sometimes it takes a bit longer. There can be unforseen circumstances like illness. I will keep you up to date should that happen.
What if I am worried where my shipped item is?
Contact me and I will find out with the shipping company.
Once they consider it lost you will either receive a full refund or a new item. The item isn’t yours until you have actually received it.
Most of the time it is a false alarm, the item will arrive.
Sizing details
When in doubt, ask me a question and I will help you to find the right size for you.
WHERE THE HELL IS MY....?
Is not a frequent question luckily, but it does happen sometimes.. Try asking in a normal way first. A please and thank you makes me works so much better.
Sometimes an item gets lost in shipping, sometimes clients haven’t read the trunover time, sometimesthings get delayed a bit. Trust we will always find a solution.
In every item I make there is a piece of ‘me’. Made with love and care. I will go the extra mile to make somebody happy. And then some more.
What is I need the order before a certain date?
Ask me in time, and consider the shipping time. Usually to the US is two weeks, but I can not in any way guarantee or be held responsible for it.
If it is a custom order for a wedding or a very special occasion, I can only accept te request 4 months before, preferably 6 months.
What if my item is damaged during transport
Contact me immediately when you have received it. Provide me with pictures of the damaged packaging. Take one picture of the box, with the item in it, and iff possible some detailed pictures of the damage.
Your damaged item will be replaced as soon as possible, but only when you can show it has happened during transport.
Damage from wearing the clothes or washing will not be refunded. Follow the instructions on the label for care.
