ALTERATION

ALL YOUR DRESS NEEDS IS A BIT OF MASTERFUL ALTERATION

Whenever your garments need any improvement… our tailors are super sharp at giving you a perfect fit!

From your pass-me-down wedding gowns, to adjusting one of your favorite pieces after weight loss, hemming and taking in (or out) your new elsewhere purchased garments, adding sleeves to a dress, or cutting a fur coat into a trendy vest, the sky is the limit.

Whenever you don’t know who to entrust your precious cashmere coat or a fine silk dress to adjust – you should bring it to SOKAYRI; those same hands who create fine garments know exactly how to fix them.

We do use sewing machines, but hand stitching is used for the major part of the bespoke process

REPURPOSING

Repurposing’ is close to the heart of many creative people. This means taking an item and giving it a new or different purpose.

With clothes this means that instead of throwing an item away because it is worn, out of fashion or simply out of favor, they are turned into something desirable and useful.
Additional Information

Anything can be repurposed. Even very worn or stained garments can be recycled, simply cut away the pieces that cannot be used and keep the usable fabric. Surprisingly small items of fabric can be repurposed.

Patches or small items of jewelry can be fashioned from off-cuts of fabric. Different types of garments can be used in different ways:
