A true Luxury
Within luxury, the alterations industry has long been cast to the shadows, hidden away in back rooms of retails stores and office buildings. It has been deemed the unsexy service in fashion, as compared to its counterparts of styling and personal shopping. After purchase, garments are whisked away to be altered with little discussion as to the craft that is going on behind closed doors.
And yet – it is the most satisfying part, to see the garment you love be transformed to fit you perfectly. As we are now accustomed to mass production, the moment of reclaiming your unique body in your own clothing is an experience that cannot be felt through shopping or styling alone.
This is why at Shopboy, we are creating an experience around a service that deserves to be in the front room, deserves its own light. As generational values move toward experiences over product, toward quality over quantity, Shopboy offers the fashion industry an opportunity to embrace a necessary service in a new and enlightened way.
