Robes and cashmere coats, made by hand in Landshut.
Manufaktur Bavaria is an internationally recognised maker of bespoke luxury robes, renowned for exceptional craftsmanship, the finest materials and an unwavering commitment to the highest quality.
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 own cloths or from the collections of 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.

LandshutCloths we cut for you
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.
Your piece begins
with a conversation.
A visit to the atelier, a table of fabric swatches and sketches, a conversation with time and delight in every detail – this is how every made-to-measure piece begins with us.
Then the workroom takes over: the pattern is drafted by hand, the fabric is cut, sewn and fitted on the dress form until everything sits just right. Our film follows a dress and blazer along this path – the same path every robe and every coat takes.
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.
The same care,
in every image.
Our atelier and robe photographs were taken by fashion and advertising photographer Frank Nesslage. Each robe was arranged on the dress form, fold by fold, and lit to show the cloth, drape and workmanship.
Every shot was reviewed as a team on screen – because when you choose online, you should see the robe as it truly is.
Your robe. Your coat. Our atelier.
We guide your made-to-measure commission personally.
