Since 2008, our name has stood for precision and consummate tailoring. In our atelier in Landshut, the regional capital of Lower Bavaria, we create robes that set international benchmarks for elegance and dignity. Since 2026, the same hands have made our cashmere coats to measure in this workshop.

Trusted by the world’s most distinguished institutions

Our bespoke robes are worn by leading professionals and institutions across several continents.

Our esteemed clientele includes dignitaries of renowned academic institutions such as Harvard University, judges of the Federal Constitutional Court, U.S. federal and district judges, Attorneys General, as well as prominent figures of Christian and Jewish communities.

As the official robe maker to the Unified Patent Court, we make the robes of every UPC judge, in both the Court of First Instance and the Court of Appeal. Each robe is individually made and personalised. The robes were developed in collaboration with the Directorate in Luxembourg.

Personalised service and individual attention

We devote ourselves to realising your wishes with the utmost precision. Whether you choose from our premium collections — our own cloth as well as Holland & Sherry, Scabal and Loro Piana — or prefer bespoke details such as personalised embroidery, individual linings or fine accents, we guide you expertly through the entire process.

Our aim is to create a robe that perfectly expresses your status, authority and individuality. For your coat, we consider your daily life, your posture and the clothes you wear beneath it. Yeşim Küçükay guides you personally — from cut and cloth through the cotton-toile fitting to the handover.

A visitor enters the atelier and is welcomed. Consultation at the table with cloth books and designs. Then the workroom: choosing the cloth, drafting the pattern by hand, pattern pieces, a design wall, sewing at the machine, fitting on the form. At the end, a finished jacket and a dress. Instrumental music, no speech.

From first conversation to finished piece

The finest cloths,
worked by hand.

In our atelier, distinctive masterpieces are created from the finest materials in the world. We work the finest cloths — from our own collection as well as the renowned houses Holland & Sherry, Scabal and Loro Piana.

Every robe and every coat are carefully crafted by hand and tailored precisely to your measurements. Decades of experience show in every detail.

A photo studio: lights are set up, a member of the team dresses black robes on the form, the photographer sets the light and shoots. The team reviews the images on screen. At the end the robe stands under the lights in the studio. Instrumental music, no speech.
