Tailoring with a twist

We draw inspiration from classic French tailoring, sometimes Italian sprezzatura, English sartorialism when it comes to formal wear, History, Cinema,  you name it.

We are a Parisian tailoring house fuelled by a passion for exceptional quality and the possibilities of constituting one’s unique wardrobe.

Ardentes Clipei, is latin for shining armour and that is just how we see dressing. As a shield to face the outside world and also a pretext to reveal your personality.

The tailored suit is the perfect example. It protects you, is cut to fit and emphasise your constitution – with endless ways of personalisation.

We pride ourselves on our longstanding relationship with our clients. If you make a garment with us it does not end with delivery, we guarantee our services beyond so that you will be able to take care of  and enjoy your tailoring for many years.

Trusted advisors, we listen and collaborate closely with our clients. Tailoring with a twist are the words we live by.
