THE LUXURY OF SIMPLICITY · THE PERFECT CUT

Book your appointment →

For over ten years we have been crafting bespoke garments at our atelier on Malabia 1116, Buenos Aires. Every jacket, every trouser, every shirt is born from a conversation, a fabric chosen by hand and a unique pattern, built on your own body.

 
 

CHAPTER I

The Difference
of the Cut

The industry develops clothing for an "average" body that does not exist. That is why what you buy tends to fit some parts of your body while sacrificing others: a jacket that fits the shoulders but is loose at the waist, trousers that fit the hip but are tight on the thigh.

Bespoke tailoring reverses the process. We begin with your real silhouette and build the garment around it. The result is not "more elegant" in the abstract. It is more you, in your best version.

"It is that freedom, that simplicity and that total attention to you that explains why most people who try us once come back."

CHAPTER II

The Craft

We work with a contemporary tailoring approach: pure lines, relaxed structures and a minimalism focused on silhouette. We strip away the unnecessary. We deconstruct the traditional jacket to create lighter pieces, often without inner lining, so the fabric breathes and flows with you.

Moulage and pleats on the body — every jacket is built on your silhouette.

 

CHAPTER III

The Fit

What we make: unstructured jackets, tailored trousers, shirts, complete suits and contemporary coats. Pieces born from your real silhouette, with drapes and cuts that only exist when the cloth is conceived for a specific body.

CHAPTER IV

The Cloth
Cerruti 1881

We work with fabrics from Lanificio F.lli Cerruti, one of the most prestigious mills in the world, founded in 1881 in Biella, Italy — the same house that dressed Richard Gere, Jack Nicholson and Harrison Ford on screen.

At the atelier you can see and touch the complete catalogues, choose your fabric and design your garment around that specific cloth. Your order arrives from Italy in two weeks, and from there we begin crafting in our workshop.

Cerruti 1881 catalogue — Atelier Molina, Buenos Aires.

Hollywood

100% RWS-certified virgin wool. Cerruti's flagship line: impeccable drape, wrinkle resistance and a hand feel you notice from the first touch. Ideal for suits, jackets and trousers for daily wear or events.

Super 150 Nobility

100% pure 150's wool, 16-micron fibre — as fine as cashmere. Natural elasticity, silken sheen and a softness that does not wrinkle even after hours of wear. The most exclusive cloth in tailoring.

"You do not choose from a generic catalogue: you choose from the same cloths used by the finest tailoring houses in the world."

 

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How long does a bespoke garment take?

From the moment you confirm your cloth, we estimate 4 to 6 weeks. This includes the order from Italy (2 weeks) and the making with intermediate fittings in our workshop.

How does fabric selection work?

At the atelier we have the complete Cerruti 1881 catalogues. You choose the cloth you like best, we order it directly from Biella and it arrives in two weeks to begin your garment. The entire process — from selection to the final fitting — we do together.

How many fittings are there?

Usually two: a first one with the garment basted to adjust fit and proportion, and a second nearly finished one for fine details. For very complex pieces (a coat or a tuxedo), we add a third.

Where is the atelier?
