Our commitment
A Tree planted for every product bought
Determined to help the planet with impactful climate solutions. For each completed order we plant a tree.
The combined experiences of working on Savile Row, Venetian tailoring and London fashion has lead to a unique combination of traditional silhouette and styles in bold prints and vivid colours utilised to create the unique and quintessential range we have all come to love. All garments are designed and cut in our workshop above the shop which is often open to the public. Many pieces are made in store and some within a 30 mile radius of Canterbury by our Violet Elizabeth tailors.
