    Talk it through

    We look at what is possible together, and tell you the price.

  3. 03

    The work

    We alter or repair — by hand wherever that is what it takes.

    Collection

Questions about small repairs

Not covered here? Call us — you get an answer in a minute rather than through a form.

How long does an alteration take?

Most work is done in 48 hours. Small repairs such as a button or a seam are often faster.

Do I need an appointment?

Not for alterations and repairs — just walk in. For wedding dress alterations we book you a slot.

What does a fitting cost?

Nothing. We pin it, show you the result and name the fixed price before any work begins.

Are my garments insured?

Yes. Every garment left with us is insured for the whole time it is in our care.

No appointment, no forms

Just drop in.

Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or just walk into the atelier at Idastrasse 1. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
