Tailoring

Troscot Tailoring is located on Calea Mosilor since the 80s. The tailor used to make suits and jackets. Over time, he decided to concentrate on retouching garments and tailoring from strach skirts and blouses – and perhaps dresses if he enjoys the pattern and the customer.

 Mrs Anica has started this business more than 15 years ago. She had some help from her son and son-in-law. The first shop was located in Colentina neighbourhood, but when she moved at this address, she was happy to see that the clients have followed her here. Being a skillful tailor, Mrs Anica mends clothes but also makes them from scratch.  

  On Dimitrie Cantemir at number 20, in the workshop that is here for 20 years, now clients come to Ms. Maria, who works here for the past 8 years. There are not many staircases to climb and that makes the workshop very convenient. The neighbours are gathering at the ground floor to chat. At the tailor shop like on social media. In the workshop clothes are made from scratch, custom made, and multiple fixings. The new clients are often coming to the workshop through recommendations, having heard from each other.  

Nearby the market with the most beautiful name, Clouds Market, on 4 Constantin Rădulescu-Motru Street, there is this tailoring workshop which does alterations, repairs and also custom-made pieces, unique and personalised. The market of the Clouds will soon be rebuilt, but we hope that at least it keeps its name.  

Tailor Artim Coop has a shop right on the corner on the other side of the house in which Mita Biciclista used to live. In this workshop one can get to their clothes all sorts of touch ups, two lady tailors work hard, ironing stitches, taking orders, making sure that the finished object looks impecable. “All the items brought to the tailor have to be washed”, a sign on the wall reminds us.

The workshop of tailor Maria is located on 20 Popa Soare Street, is not big, instead it is very welcoming. Mrs. Maria is specialised in making underwear, simple and special corsets, bride veils, costumes for dancers. In the past, at “Venus Fashion House” on Calea Victoriei, she was the one that spent endless hours patiently sewing sequins and beads on the gowns that were created there. In her current workshop, different sorts of repairs are possible, for both women and men’s garments.

For many, “Stefan Tailor Shop” is the one found on George Vraca Street. Mr. Stefan has worked in this location for many years in a row, until the summer of 2019, when he decided to move his tailor shop to Voluntari Neighbourhood, on the groundfloor of his house. Except for the address, his services are the same. Only the newly added customers changed. The know-how of the master kept all its qualities intact.  

Vera Fashion tailor shop is proud to have a young team that easily succeds in translating the days trands onto the client’s own sizes and whishes. Nobody leaves the shop whitout beeing sure that the transformation or the new product is exactly as it should be.  

Artim Tailor Shop has moved here in Crângaşi after having for many years the address on Ion Mihalache Bvd, where one can still see hanged on the wall the beautiful burgundy volumetric letters of the frontispiece. The team of the workshop has remained the same and is rady to welcome new customers. Both women and men touch ups, both not so ordinary and day to day touch ups are all done at time and thouroughly.  

Mendeleev street is protected by the noise of Magheru Bvd, but has a lot of advantages because it’s vecinity. Next to all the coffee shops here we can find the tailor shop where Mr Alexandru has been working for more than 60 years. The shop keeps the old rules, where the sewing machines are in the back, so the clients can’t see them. In front, where all the orderes are taken, on a mannequin, stands a jacket that tells how skilled the tailor is. Made from scratch, not missing any phase, for a somebody that is not accustomed with details, may seem not a big deal. But just take a closer look to the buttonhole,  

Mrs. Grecu worked at Artim cooperative since its begining, back when the inhabitants of Bucharest were wearing tailor-made costumes and the shelves of the workshop were filled with fabrics and orders. She has been assigned to various units of the cooperative, and she arrived in the Iuliu Maniu unit a year ago. All well and good, only customers not too many, because once you change the location the customers stay in their place and find something closer to home.

A tailoring workshop that doesn’t follow a typical pattern. Alongside small touch-ups done by diligent tailorwomen, the main specialization of this workshop are work uniforms. White, orange, red of blue, they can be combined, matched and adjusted on the spot.
