Made-to-measure clothing delivered to Paris

Paris weather, Paris offices

Paris summers can be properly hot, while winters are grey, damp and chilly rather than bitter. Lawn carries you through the warmest weeks; for most of the year a cambric or linen kameez is more useful, and khaddar earns its place from November (winter fabrics guide).

Parisian work dressing is pared back, so a knee-length kurta with slim cigarette trousers, or a plain co-ord in a quiet colour, fits right in, whether at a desk in La Défense or a lecture at the Sorbonne.

French sizes and what arrives at your door

A 38 from a Paris boutique is not a UK size and tells us little about where your sleeves should end, so measure yourself in centimetres using the size guide. Your written quote sets out production time and includes delivery and any import charges, such as TVA and the EU’s flat duty on low-value parcels, so there is nothing extra to pay when your parcel arrives. The France page explains the rules.
