Private label made to measure for label founders

Start your own made-to-measure suit label, without a factory.

We cut and sew every suit to your client’s measurements in our own workshop in Shanghai and put your label inside. You find the clients. We make the suits, one order at a time.

I. Who this is for

For people who sell suits under their own name.

This is for you if

  • You run an online label, or want to, and need each suit made to the client’s own measurements.
  • You have a following and want a suit line with your name sewn inside.
  • You fitted suits in a shop and now want to take your own clients. Our guide on leaving suit retail to start your own label covers the first steps.
  • You want to test the idea with one sample suit before you spend on anything else.

This is not for you if

  • You want one suit for yourself. We do not make single suits for private buyers. A tailor in your own town is the better choice.
  • You want ready-made suits in stock sizes to hold as inventory. Every suit here is made to one client’s measurements.

II. How it works

Four steps from idea to a suit with your label.

  1. Tell us about your label

    Message us on WhatsApp or send the form. Say who your clients are and what you want to sell first. We reply with prices for the cloth and construction you have in mind.

  2. Order one sample suit

    Pick a cloth and a construction, give us your own measurements, and we make one suit with your label sewn in. You wear it and check it before you sell anything.

  3. Take orders online

    Your clients buy from you. You enter their measurements on our ordering platform, which runs in five languages. Height and weight are enough to get suggested sizes.

  4. We make it and ship it

    Once the order is confirmed, the suit spends 14 days in production. Then we send it to you, or to the client directly, be it their house, their office or a hotel, in any country, in your brand’s name.

III. Cloth

Cloth your clients will recognize.

Your clients can pick from 33 mills and merchants. Of those, 26 are in Europe. Our Shanghai shelves hold 162 Zegna styles plus stock from Vitale Barberis Canonico.

Starting small? Our own book, Corsini LANA Four Seasons, has 85 fabrics, all in a 280 g Australian merino that is 100% wool and wears through every season.

Already have cloth? Send it and we make it up as CMT.

V. Questions founders ask first

Three answers before you message us.

Can I really start with one suit?

Yes. We take orders from a single piece, so a lone sample suit is a normal first order. After that you order a suit each time a client buys one, and you never pay for stock.

Can my own label go in the suit?

Yes. Your label is sewn into the garment, so your client opens the jacket and reads your name. The label also gives the country of origin.

How long until my client has the suit?

Count 14 days of production from the day the order is confirmed, then add the shipping time. The suit can come to you or go straight to your client, sent in your label’s name.
