OUR BESPOKE TAILORING
The entire bespoke manufacturing process is very personal. It involves dozens of tasks that must be executed perfectly,
in order to get a masterpiece. One that is tailor-made for you and your own personality and style.
See how the entire bespoke manufacturing process is carried out.
WHAT DO WE FOLLOW IN BESPOKE MANUFACTURING?
DESIGN
We work with our very own women's and men's sewing patterns. Upon agreement, it is possible to customize them.
For a completely new design, it is necessary to consider the time needed to develop and test the pattern itself.
_
MATERIALS
We work with luxury Czech brocades, well-processed wool, and silk.
Some of our fabrics have been custom woven and decorated.
_
DETAILS
The details of our kimonos are finished by hand.
This is a legacy of Japan and its tradition of hand-stitched kimonos.
_
DURATION
We understand that everything takes time. For bespoke orders, please allow a minimum of +5 weeks from the first meeting.
This will depend on our current workload as well as your wishes and specific needs.

STYLING
True luxury lies in taking care of you!
We will advise you on the styling, and show you how to work with your figure, its strengths and weaknesses.
We'll help you choose the right material and colour and explain how to take the best care of your new model.
You'll get practical tips and advice on what and how to mix and match your kimono with your wardrobe.
"The kimono is an imprint of your soul."
PRICE
The price is based on the complexity of the custom-made kimono order - the chosen design and materials.
WHO WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU?
Alena has sewing in her blood and her family! Her aunt, who had her own dressmaking salon, taught her how to sew. The era and glory of the Czechoslovak salons fascinate and inspire her. She also gained experience during a practical course with the Czech futurist designer Ivana Kaňovská.
She is responsible for design, pattern making, alterations, and tailoring.
Veronika discovered her love for Japan already in 2006 thanks to the martial art of jiu-jitsu. She currently practices aikido under the guidance of Ondřej Malina. She is also a member of the Nihontó Kenkyukai, a society devoted to the study of Japanese swordsmanship.

OUR CUSTOMERS
...AND THEIR STORIES
FAQ
Is it possible to complete bespoke orders remotely?"
Yes, in this case, we'll get to know each other via Meet, ie video call. In the same way, we will guide you how to measure yourself. We will send you samples of the fabric to your home address. If you wish, the final selection of the kimono, its design and material can be digitally visualised for you.
What about the payment?
Half of the price is paid after the specification and approval of the bespoke order.
The other half is paid upon completion and final testing of the product, i.e. when you as our customer are 100% satisfied.
What if I don't like the kimono?
If such a situation arises we would be happy to keep the kimono. Every piece sewn is a treasure to us.
Do you also sew with materials other than the natural ones?
We work with natural and luxury materials - silk, wool, brocade.
In some cases, we also work with mixed materials à la coat, for fibre stability.
Do you also sew sports or martial arts kimonos?
It always depends largely on the material and the design that you would like to pursue. So it's individual.
Finally, we would like to conclude by saying that in a world where there is less and less time to genuinely share and get to know each other, we strive to be a place where you can recharge and take a break. With every meeting and client we have, we honour the Japanese proverb ichi-go ichi-e 一期一会 meaning, we understand the preciousness of every moment.
The usual time of the first meeting is about 60-90 min. You can attend in couple if you prefer that.
If you are not sure about the exact model, please do feel free to visit us and take a look.
