Welcome! Are you looking for a historical outfit for yourself or a friend? Look no further! I make bespoke clothing as a part of my business. Read below and send me an email to discuss your ideas.  

Before you order clothes:

• Think about what kind of clothes you want, and try to give me as much details as possible (pictures are nice), if you have a budget and where you will use the outfit (reenactment, stage, market fair, winter camping.) This way I can give you a better offer.
• Email me with your ideas and I’ll give you an estimated offer based on your wishes (for free of course!)
• When you want to place an order I take a starting fee of 500 sek to be able to research, discuss and order fabrics samples etc for your project. This will not be returned if you change your mind, but you get to keep all research for future use. The starting fee is included in the total offer.
• The waiting list for bespoke clothing may be long during the spring/summer months, and it takes time to make garments by hand. Be sure to place your order well before you want your garments, 1-3 month is a regular production time.

How much does it cost? It depends! For me to give you a good offer I need to calculate the amount of fabrics needed, shipping fees, production time etc. This is easier if you have a fair idea before of what you want, and provide me with your general sizing. But I am also happy to help you design your outfit if you tell me what you need it for.

2000-5000 sek for wool garments, and around 10 000-15 000 sek for a whole outfit with layers. This is just to give you a heads up, if you only have shopped fast fashion before. My typical customer often order 2-3 garments for a whole outfit and pays around 12 000 sek.

I accept comissions over 2000 sek, to be able to give you good service and keep my prices down.

Fitted garments: To sew a fitted garment, I need to be able to try it on you one-two times (or more depending on the garment). Only available on request if we can arrange a meeting.

What can I offer You?

• All fabrics will be prewashed/shrinked (except silks) before sewing, and I only use high quality fabrics, threads and details. The hand seams are made with historical techniques. I aim to create garments that will last for years and stand up to adventures and washing.
• Instructions for caring and washing your new garment is provided. No chemicals are used during the making, which means a healthy garment.
• Machinemade inside seams and hand stitched hems, details and visible trims.
• All hand stitched garments using historical techniques.
• Pattern constructions are based on historical finds, but gores/seams may be adjusted due to your measures and to cut costs. Garments based purely on archeological finds upon request.
