Atelier Molina · Buenos Aires
Made to
Measure
The luxury of simplicity. The perfect cut, built around your body.
For more than ten years we have been making made-to-measure 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.
We start from your real silhouette and build the garment around it.
It isn't "more elegant" in the abstract. It's more you, at your best.
The difference
The cut that
belongs to you
The industry develops clothing for an "average" body that doesn't exist. That's why what you buy tends to fit some parts of you while sacrificing others: a jacket that fits the shoulders but is loose at the waist, trousers that hug the hips but pinch the thigh.
Made-to-measure reverses the process. We start from your real silhouette and build the garment around it. The result isn't "more elegant" in the abstract: it's more you, at your best.
“It's that freedom, that simplicity and that total attention to you that explains why most people who try us once come back to choose us again.”
— Carlos Molina
The craft
Contemporary
tailoring
Pure lines, relaxed structures and a minimalism focused on the silhouette. We strip away the unnecessary. We deconstruct the traditional jacket to create lighter garments, often with no inner lining, so the fabric breathes and flows with you.
The process
From conversation to delivery
Conversation
We talk through your idea, use and style, by appointment.
The fabric
You choose your cloth from the Cerruti 1881 books, in hand.
The pattern
We build a unique pattern on your real silhouette.
The fittings
Two fittings to refine fit, drape and detail.
Delivery
Your garment, finished in our atelier.
What we make
The perfect fit
Deconstructed jackets, tailored trousers, shirts, full suits and contemporary coats. Pieces born from your real silhouette, with lines and cuts that only exist when the fabric is conceived for one specific body.
The fabrics
Cerruti 1881
We work with fabrics by Lanificio F.lli Cerruti, one of the most prestigious mills in the world, founded in 1881 in Biella, Italy. At the atelier you can see and touch the full books, choose your cloth and design your garment on that specific fabric. Your order arrives from Italy within two weeks, and from there construction begins in our workshop.
Hollywood
100% virgin wool, RWS certified. Cerruti's signature line: an impeccable drape, wrinkle resistance and a hand you feel from the very first touch. Ideal for suits, jackets and trousers for everyday wear or events.
Super 150 Nobility
100% pure 150's wool, a 16-micron fibre — as fine as cashmere. Natural stretch, a silky sheen and a softness that doesn't wrinkle even after hours of wear. The most exclusive cloth tailoring has to offer.
“You don't choose from a generic catalogue: you choose from the very same cloths used by the finest tailors in the world.”
— Carlos Molina
Frequently asked
How long does a made-to-measure garment take?
From the moment you confirm your fabric, we estimate 4 to 6 weeks. This includes the order to Italy (2 weeks) and construction with intermediate fittings in our workshop.
How does choosing the fabric work?
At the atelier we hold the full Cerruti 1881 books. You choose the cloth you like best, we order it directly from Biella, and in two weeks it arrives to begin your garment. The whole process — from the choice 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 for the fine details. If the piece is very complex (a coat or a tuxedo), we add a third.
