Thoughtful styling, locally rooted
We blend London-trained expertise with Southampton know-how—focusing on fit, budget, and pieces you’ll actually wear.
Bespoke Wardrobe Mapping
We assess what you own, identify gaps, and build a plan you can stick to.
Smart Shopping Routes
From Westquay to indie gems in Bedford Place, we know where the right pieces live.
Sustainable Choices
Considered edits, repairs, and pre-loved options to extend your wardrobe’s life.
Our Services
Transparent pricing with flexible add-ons. All packages include a pre-session style questionnaire and follow-up notes.
Wardrobe Edit
We start with a quick style brief, then work through your wardrobe together—sorting into keep, tailor, resell, and donate. You’ll learn why certain cuts, colours, and fabrics love you back, and how to style favourites in new ways. We map the gaps (with a prioritised shopping list) and take quick outfit snaps for reference. Expect a calmer, organised space and a clear plan for what to buy next, plus tailor and donation recommendations.
Personal Shopping
Arrive to pre-pulled rails across Westquay and select independents, chosen to match your brief, budget, and sizing. We secure fitting rooms, handle the logistics, and coach you on fit, fabric, and cost-per-wear so you shop with confidence. You’ll try complete looks—shoes and accessories included—so decisions feel easy. After the session, you’ll get links for any missed sizes and a shortlist of “next steps” to round out your wardrobe.
Capsule Wardrobe Build
We design a compact, mix-and-match capsule aligned to your lifestyle split (work/weekend/evening), preferred palette, and body map. Expect smart layers, quality fabrics, and silhouettes that generate 25–35 outfits from just 10 items. We blend high-street heroes with considered investment pieces and pre-loved finds where it makes sense. You’ll receive a purchase roadmap, packing list, and maintenance guide to keep the capsule sharp for seasons to come.
