Following popular request - that is, one request - here are some more pics from Smalto, the Parisian bespoke tailor.
See the full post on Smalto here.

ReplyDeleteIt would be fantastic for all your readers I'm sure if you did a post on a list of the various tailors you have used and a sentence or two on the distinct house style, and what that specific tailor excels at or specialises in. Many of us save up or plan to go very soon and it would be great if there was a comprenhensive list on the general work, as to narrow down the search for a tailor.
Thanks
