Le Portant: your custom-prepared selection in Lyon
You describe, we prepare
Searching for a formal outfit takes a whole day. Shopping around, trying things on at random, leaving empty-handed. We offer the opposite: you tell us the occasion, the date, and your size, and a stylist puts together a selection before you arrive.
Six to eight pieces, pulled and reserved in your name, with matching accessories. You receive a photo of the rack within 48 hours. You arrive, and everything is ready.
How it works
1. You fill out the form. Two minutes. The occasion, the date, your size, and any colors you must wear or avoid.
2. A stylist prepares your rack. She pulls from our three Lyon boutiques to compose a complete look, not just an isolated piece.
3. You receive the photo within 48 hours. You tell us what you like, what to remove, what to add. Before you even make the trip.
4. You come to try it on. The rack is waiting for you under your name. Alterations are marked on the spot if needed.
What our customers say has changed
We aren't the ones saying it. In our 356 Google reviews, the word that comes up most isn't "collection" or "price": it's time saved. One client talks about two hours of fitting for a single occasion. Others describe pieces pulled from the back room one after another until the right one was found.
Many write to tell us that they return every time they visit Lyon, sometimes from another country. Several recount entering without much belief, off-season, and leaving fully equipped.
Our stylists are mentioned by their first names. Ambre and Céline come up most often. That is why we let you choose yours.
Choose your stylist
Nine stylists across our three Lyon boutiques. Indicate your preference in the form, or let us assign you the one who best knows your type of occasion.
Your measurement profile
During your first alteration, we keep your measurements on file. The next time, the trousers are already hemmed to your length when you arrive. This is what a tailor does; we don't see why a ready-to-wear boutique should do otherwise.
It is free and non-binding
Preparing a rack costs nothing and does not commit you to anything. If nothing suits you, you leave empty-handed — and we note what you are looking for to notify you of the next arrival. We receive a new capsule collection every week, and that is our way of working.
Coming from afar?
Many of our Belgian and Swiss customers combine a visit to Lyon with a fitting. Lyon is two hours from Geneva and four from Brussels by train. Prepare your visit with the form, and everything will be ready upon your arrival. Conditions for international visitors are detailed here.
Where to find us
Your rack awaits you at Imperial, 21 rue du Président Édouard Herriot, Lyon 1st.
