There is a fundamental difference between a garment made by a Savile Row-trained tailor and one bought from a high street retailer or produced by an inexperienced maker. A Savile Row education takes years: pattern cutting by hand, fitting the living body, working through the idiosyncrasies of every figure.

The result is a garment that moves with you, flatters you, and lasts decades. Serena Kelsey spent her formative years apprenticing in London, learning from the masters of the trade, and has spent forty years refining that craft. That is what you are commissioning when you come to Contemporary Tailors.
