COVID-19 Updates
We are open and dispatching orders as normal, we are also accepting fittings at our Mayfair showroom and have put various steps in place to ensure the health and safety of our clients and staff.
The health and safety of our clients is our number one priority, we have put various steps in place to reduce the possibility of any potential transmission of the virus. We have gone above and beyond government guidelines to safeguard our staff and clients.
Each garment is wet or dry-cleaned and goes through an additional steaming process which heats items to 120°, according to the CDC, flu viruses are killed by heat above 75°. Each garment is then sprayed with an antibacterial detergent and is carefully packaged by our team whilst wearing a mask and gloves. Any items that have been worn or returned are thoroughly cleaned and quarantined for a minimum of three days.
