The Alternative Choice For Modern Humans

At the heart of our manifesto lies a simple truth: the fashion we love embodies values beyond mere aesthetics. More specifically, the aesthetics reflect the values.

The fashion we love is the reflection of independent minds, individuals who embrace a philosophy that transcends trends and superficiality. Individuals who think. In other words, fashion that captivates us serves as a mirror of autonomous spirits, those unique individuals who adopt a mindset that goes beyond the fleeting whims of trends and the shallowness often found in the industry. These are individuals who engage in deep thought, who ponder and question, and whose style is a testament to their intellectual independence.

The fashion we love is about embracing:

good design
quality materials
skilled tailoring and craftsmanship
couture in the heart
made-to-last
in limited quantities
ethical approach
respect for people
respect for the planet

In a few words, it’s about less, much less, but better. No quantity can ever replace the value of a well-made garment.

It’s a conscious choice to support brands that align with our principles, brands that make thoughtful garments. And by doing so, we contribute to making a change in the fashion industry. In other words, we contribute to a more ethical and sustainable industry.

In the end, you know what? The alternative exists! And it’s already here. Can’t you see it?

Queuing and luxury

23 October, 2023 / Leave a Comment

Does waiting in line at fashion stores have anything to do with luxury?

Let’s reflect on queuing and luxury. Imran Amed of “Business of Fashion” has recently opened the debate on long lines outside top retailers and whether they are a valid means to convey luxury.

In fact, it’s even hard to get inside some fashion stores. But while the masses seem attracted by that, some people don’t buy it. Precisely, Imran Amed titled: “Queuing is not a luxury experience” and invites brands to rethink their strategies.

Of course, we agree with Imran Amed. Queuing outside top fashion retailers has nothing to do with luxury. Such a waste of time is pointless and makes no sense in relation to spending a lot of money.

What is luxury?

First and foremost, luxury is about exclusive designs made in limited numbers and not mass-produced items. Since all top brands produce their garments in huge quantities, they stopped making luxury long ago. Also, all high-end brands are so overexposed you can see them everywhere, which collides with the idea of luxury itself.
But why do retailers still have long lines if it does not convey luxury? It’s a marketing gimmick to get attention from newbies and mass consumers.

What are the characteristics of a true luxury shopping experience?

Quality, exclusivity, personalised service, privacy.
Specifically, when it comes to service, true luxury is when you avoid crowds. We so much believe in this concept that, about five years ago, we changed our business model. Indeed, we shifted from a physical boutique with a wide selection to a web fashion boutique providing a precise niche selection. Because we don’t need more, we need less (much less) but better. That is through a private shopping service.

What does it mean? Feeling the need for something more intimate, we thought about offering a personalised shopping experience based on private appointments. In other words, you receive a unique selection made for you and delivered to you (to your home or office).

Perhaps this concept is not for everyone, but that’s the point of luxury.
Luxury is private, and it means avoiding crowds. No waiting in line, no wasting time. Indeed, queuing is not luxury!

We would not queue for no reason at all! What about you? Are you willing to wait in line to get into a luxury shop?
