EVG contributor Steven passes along word (and a photo!) of a coming soon sign that arrived yesterday at 331 E. Ninth St. for Tailors Atelier of NY ... which, as you may have guessed, is a tailoring shop that's expected to open Feb. 1 here between First Avenue and Second Avenue.
The head tailor, Nigel Ramsey, has 30 years of experience, per the shop's website.
Here's their mission statement:
At TAILORS ATELIER, we have tailored our livelihoods on Altering and Tailoring people's clothing into works of art. From the simple to the complex we've experienced it all and can assist you every step of the way. No job is too small or too big for our knowledgeable staff. We've happily done it all for 30 years now!
The previous tenant here, the Glasgow Vintage Co., closed this past August after less than a year on the block.
Sounds good!
ReplyDeleteWow, I can't believe it, a business has opened which will provide a service people actually need. Welcome.
ReplyDeleteGo to Gino's Royal Tailoring on East 11th Street just west of Avenue A. He's been a neighborhood fixture/treasure/gem for decades.
ReplyDelete"Atelier" just smacks of pretentiousness, IMO.
ReplyDeleteHeadline= Pronounced groaning sound.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds terrific! I used to home-sew, but have gotten far too lazy, even for easy stuff like repairing hems. A place to do it for me would be excellent...
ReplyDeleteFor what it's worth, Makeout, I winced when I wrote it...
ReplyDeleteTo the naysayers at least it is not another: pigs in a blanket boutique, or a acai bowl dealer.
ReplyDeleteWhat? Is the tailor asking for a liquor license?
