"To give you the best experience we can, two of our experts will come into your home and offer their insider expertise. Pick from me, Petro and our associate Regina, and we’ll use our industry-honed skills and editing passion to transform your wardrobe."
"Whatever the assignment, the team comes prepared with the kit needed to organise your collection in the most useful way. In my case, a rethink on hanging space was essential."
"Before the big day, a phone consultation helps identify problem areas that need to be worked on. I wanted better differentiation between my summer and winter pieces, so storage was a big focus."
"Before any organising can begin, a realistic audit of my wardrobe was done, where we looked at every single piece and made sure it contained only what was truly useful and joy-giving."
"After sifting through every inch of my collection, I was able to identify the pieces that worked for me and my lifestyle, and what could be given a new home by being donated to charity or passed to friends or family."
"Once my collection was ready to be rehoused, the team provided the smartest way of storing each category for ease of access."
"No area was left untouched – even lingerie and hosiery were given a new lease of life by being sorted and separated into easy and useful sections."
"A good wardrobe is one that’s easy and enjoyable to use. With that in mind, pieces were organised in a way that makes sense and is pleasing to the eye."
"Over the last few years, I’ve found myself gravitating towards tailoring more regularly, and therefore have a lot more suits that need storing. Regina devised a space-saving technique that will keep them pristine."
"It’s no use having an immaculate wardrobe if you can’t access your pieces easily. A system was implemented to make sure I could grab and go, while keeping everything neatly in its place."
"My knitwear collection has become somewhat overwhelming, so Regina helped me look through my shelves and pull out the knits that needed cleaning, those that required repairing and those that could be passed along."
"With a wealth of knowledge and experience, our team have all the tips and tricks – and handy tools – to keep your wardrobe in check for the long run."
"My motto is: if you can see it, you’ll wear it. As most of my shoe collection was housed in shoe boxes, I wasn’t able to get a proper view of what I had. Switching to perspex storage has made a huge difference."
"When everything has been placed in its organised home, little touches were added to ensure that forever favourites would stand the test of time, such as a moth repellent on my woollen coats."
"The simple solution of adding clear dividers between my bags means my collection will no longer get squashed together and I can see each style more clearly."
"I opted for the Bespoke Wardrobe Overhaul, which costs £900 and includes a one-hour virtual consultation, followed by a half-day home visit. The service provides in-depth analysis and decluttering, as well as expert styling ideas to help you find new ways to wear your pieces and a tailored-to-you shopping checklist for future investments."
"Et voilà! A streamlined, curated wardrobe that’s perfectly organised and stored. What better way to kick off the new year?"
