The Atelier
Tell me a little about what you have in mind. I read every application myself - I regret that I'm unable to respond to every request due to the number I receive, but I read every one.
Before you apply
The Atelier takes on a small number of bespoke commissions each year, by invitation and application only. Here's how it works from here.
01 - Application review
I read every application myself. If your project feels like a good fit, I'll follow up by email.
02 - Project form & deposit
If accepted, I'll email a more detailed project form along with a link to pay a deposit as a sketching fee. This is redeemable against the final cost of your order.
03 - Sketches & revisions
Initial sketches are provided within 2 weeks of receiving your deposit, with up to 2 revisions included free of charge. The more detail you give upfront, the fewer extra fees you're likely to encounter.
04 - Pricing
Your price is sent alongside your sketch, and may change if design alterations are made afterward.
05 - Sample garment (if needed)
For more complex designs, I may make a sample first to check fit and function before final production - this reduces the risk of having to remake a piece. The cost is reflected in your overall price, and the sample is made to a professional standard in your choice of available stock colours. It's yours to keep.
06 - Payment
Payment is required up front before production begins.
