Twenty-two houses on the rails this season, grouped by where the cutting happens rather than by price.
One of us goes. We look at the workroom, not the showroom, and we ask who owns the machines. If a house cannot tell us where a garment was sewn, we do not take it — which is why the list is twenty-two names and not two hundred.
Nothing is stocked in depth. Two or three of a size, occasionally one, and when it is gone it is usually gone. The exception is the six workshops we have bought from every season since we opened; those we can reorder, and often re-cut to you.
