Bespoke Tailoring in Buenos Aires
The luxury of one's own
Start wearing designer garments created exclusively for your lifestyle, measurements and comfort.
There is something I hear followed by people dressing with us for the first time:
“I didn't know clothes could fit like that.”
And they say it with surprise, but also with the relief of those who spent years fighting with brands. The fashion industry forces you to fit in on an average. But if you have broad shoulders and a narrow waist, or a long torso and short legs, the "M" or "L" waist does not work for you. You end up buying a bag that pulls on the back or pants that don't close well.
I'm Carlos Molina, and I've been doing author design in Buenos Aires for more than 15 years. When you enter our atelier, the frustration of size charts disappears. Here, your body is the only standard that matters.
Contemporary Tailoring and Quiet Luxury
We dress business leaders, bride and groom on their big day, and artists in front of thousands of people. In all cases, the difference transcends aesthetics: a good tailored suit changes the way you walk around the world.
We seek beauty in absolute simplicity. We believe in silent luxury: impeccable garments that speak for their quality and their fall, taking the best of tradition (cutting, moulding, craftsmanship) and putting it at the service of a contemporary look.
- Pure linesWe design defined silhouettes that accompany the body naturally, without forcing postures or restricting movement.
- Relaxed structuresWe eliminate the unnecessary. We disassemble the traditional sack to create lighter garments, often without internal lining, so that the garment breathes and flows with you.
- Focused MinimalismWe reduce the excess of accessories, ornaments and pockets to achieve a clean and deeply modern aesthetic, where every detail has a purpose.
From Conversation to Delivery
We are with you through every step of the process
Overlapping
In our first interview, we will talk about the ideas you have in mind, we see references, and we will define an initial idea with sketches and renders of what your garment will be.
The cloth...
We have catalogues of national, Italian, French and English fabrics so you can choose the best option for your outfit.
the mould
We take the necessary steps to build your custom mold shop. We work with a moulage system (mannequins with the shapes of your body) so that the fit is perfect.
The challenges
The process includes the fit tests that are necessary for the garment to be impeccable.
Delivery
We coordinate in our agenda the delivery date of your garment so that it is as close as possible to the date of the event.
The fabrics
During your visit to our atelier, you will be able to learn about the different options of fabrics available to make your garment.
- Cerruti 1881Cerruti 1881 We work with fabrics from Lanificio F.lli Cerruti, one of the most prestigious spinning mills in the world, founded in 1881 in Biella, Italy. In the atelier you can see and touch the complete catalogues, choose your gender and design your garment on that specific fabric. Your order arrives from Italy in two weeks, and from there the preparation begins in our workshop.
- Dugdale & CoDugdale & Co Classic premium English linens and tailoring cloths, with catalogues available for choice. Genres arrive in 20 days from Europe.
- ShirtsShirts Peruvian pima cotton, linens and premium cotton shirts in an extensive catalogue to complement your outfit.
Price reference
What a made-to-measure suit costs
Two suits that came out of this atelier, with their real prices. What an order costs depends above all on the cloth: these two are the same three-piece construction in two different fabrics.
Hollywood 3-piece suit
100% virgin wool, three pieces.
$2,247.00
Three Piece Pink Suit
Powder pink crepe, three pieces.
$1,500.00
Both are real pieces from the atelier. A made-to-measure order is quoted at your consultation, according to the cloth and the construction you choose.
Stages and carpets
Our tailor shop takes to the stage, goes through awards ceremonies and accompanies unique days.
Frequently asked questions
How long does the procedure take?
Creating a garment takes between 3 and 5 weeks. For full suits or events with a fixed date, we recommend scheduling at least 6 weeks in advance.
How much does a bespoke garment cost?
It depends on the garment, the fabric and the work you wear: a suit in national wool does not cost the same as in an Italian one by Cerruti, nor a piece with hand embroidery. In the first conversation we define together what you are looking for and we give you the budget before you start, without surprises.
Do you make tailoring and tailored suits for women?
Yes. The mold is born from your measurements and your posture, not from a size chart, so the tailoring of the atelier is for any body: suits, blazers and tailoring pants, for women and for men.
Do I need to know exactly what style I want before I go?
No. You can bring references, but in our first consultation, which lasts as long as it takes, we will design the garment together, listening to what you are looking for.
Can I choose the fabric?
Yes, we chose it together in the atelier. We work with Italian and English wools, such as Cerruti 1881 and Dugdale & Co, and with premium shirts. If you have a special fabric stored, bring it to the first appointment and see if it suits the garment.
How much evidence does the process have?
In general two. An assembly test, where we correct the mold on your body, and a final test before delivery. If the garment is complex or the fit needs more adjustment, we add the necessary ones: the tests are included in the work, they are not charged separately.
Do you make bridal suits for weddings?
Yes, and it is one of the most frequent orders from the atelier. For a wedding it is convenient to start three months in advance: give time to choose the fabric without haste, do the necessary tests and arrive calmly to the date. We also work on the suits of the groom's godparents and father, so that the set looks thought out.
Do you make suits for graduates?
Yes. It is convenient to start in August or September, because the festivities are concentrated in November and December and on that date the agenda is already closed. It is worth thinking about it like this: a well-chosen tailored suit is not worn for a single night, then it is left for interviews, weddings and everything else that comes.
What if I gain or lose weight later?
The garment can be adjusted. We leave room in the seams just for that, and the arrangements on a garment that we made are resolved in the atelier. It is one of the real differences between a tailored garment and a purchased one: it is designed to last and to accompany body changes.
I live in another province or abroad, can I order the same?
Yes. We coordinate the taking of measures by video call, with our guide for you to take them well, and we send them throughout the country and abroad. When the trip allows it, we still prefer at least one face-to-face test in the atelier: the fit of a tailored garment is finished on the body.
