Inside the shop

Alterations, repairs and dry cleaning all happen in the same room, which is why a difficult piece can be looked at, pinned and priced while you wait.

What our customers say

Five of the ninety-nine Google reviews, word for word, with the reviewers’ own names.

“I had an ill-fitting chiffon dress with an asymmetrical hem and baggy sides. This was no easy job and they made it fit like a glove. Amazing! They take time to understand what you want.”
Mei ChangGoogle review · 2 months ago
“Our Canada Goose coat was repaired so professionally that it's virtually unnoticeable, and it was very fairly priced.”
Cafe AshianaGoogle review · 5 months ago
