Women's tailoring in Lyon: matching blazers and trousers
A suit is not chosen like an individual garment. It is composed of parts: a jacket that fits your shoulders, a bottom that fits your hips, in the same fabric and color. That is, provided you have a choice.
Choice, precisely
Most brands offer one suit per season, in two colors, in a single jacket cut. We work the opposite way: several blazer cuts — straight, double-breasted, fluid, sleeveless — and several bottom cuts — palazzo, carrot, straight, skirt, dress — with each available in our seasonal fabrics and colors.
Concretely, this means you don't adjust your desire to what is left in stock. You choose the jacket that fits you, then the bottom that fits you, and they coordinate.
Another consequence: you can take a different size for the top and the bottom. A size 40 jacket with size 42 trousers, if that is what you need. No suit sold as a set allows for this.
Choosing your jacket
The straight blazer provides structure without stiffness. It is the safe bet, the one that works at the office as well as for special occasions.
The double-breasted blazer defines the waist more and gives a more assertive look. Choose this if you are looking to shape your silhouette.
The fluid blazer, without lining or shoulder pads, is worn like a thick shirt. The most easy-going, the most perfect match for jeans.
The sleeveless jacket replaces the blazer during the mid-season and can be worn on its own, buttoned up, like a top.
Choosing your bottom: trousers, skirt, or dress
The palazzo, wide and fluid, elongates the silhouette and can be worn with heels or flats.
The carrot cut, more fitted at the bottom, balances out an ample jacket.
The straight cut remains the most neutral: it is timeless and can be re-coordinated from one season to the next.
High-waisted to define the line, elasticated waist for all-day comfort: both exist in most of our cuts.
The skirt and dress follow the same logic. Cut from the same fabric as the blazer, they create a complete ensemble: the midi skirt with a short jacket elongates the silhouette; the straight dress under an open blazer provides the easiest effect to pull off.
Fabrics matter as much as the cut
A suit is judged at the end of the day, not in the changing room. Our fabrics are chosen to last: the diagonal crepe for its drape and hold, the wrinkle-free crepe for long days and traveling, and the drapery fabric for the most formal outfits.
They are all machine washable. All are made in Italy.
Counting the cost
A two-piece ensemble starts at €155 and goes up to €350–€380 depending on the fabric and the cut. This price covers the jacket and the bottom, top not included.
Alterations make the difference
A suit that fits perfectly is almost always an altered suit. Sleeve length, trouser hem, waist dart: these are the three centimeters that separate a beautiful piece from a piece that fits you.
We provide on-site alterations in the boutique, carried out by our seamstresses.
