WHEN IT COMES to bespoke tailoring, not all tailors are cut from the same cloth. In fact, many of the so-called bespoke tailors in Singapore practice what is more accurately known as custom tailoring, which tends to be machine reliant and based on a set of predefined templates.
By contrast, a bespoke garment is a fine work of art, says Arun Sabharwal, general manager of Marlo. Each one-off, handcrafted piece is tailored to fit each individual to a tee. The established brand – which serves an exclusive clientele across Asia, Europe, the Americas and the Middle East – recently opened its flagship atelier in Asia, based in Singapore.
“From what we have observed, consumer education and awareness has been lacking in the industry. That is why we place a huge emphasis on process-oriented craftsmanship, to create an overall journey and experience unique to each customer,” Sabharwal elaborates.
