THE SARTI EXPERIENCE

Every Sarti garment begins with a conversation…

In our South Melbourne sartoria, over a coffee or gin and tonic, we'll explore what brings you here and what you're looking for. It's relaxed, it's personal, and it's the start of creating something that's uniquely yours.

Getting Started

We encourage you to call us for your first appointment. A brief phone conversation helps us understand your needs and prepare for your visit – it's part of the bespoke way of doing things that simply works.

You can reach us through our contact page, but we'll always follow up with a phone chat.

The Initial Consultation

Your first visit sets everything in motion, and it's an experience to be enjoyed. Over a relaxed conversation, we'll explore what you're looking for and guide you through every aspect – from fit to fabric selection. You'll try on fitting garments while we take precise measurements, ensuring everything feels and moves perfectly. A 50% deposit confirms your order.

The Bespoke Suit (and Jacket & Trouser Process)

  • Your journey begins with a conversation and a fitting suit. Whether you're looking for bespoke or made-to-measure, we'll take your measurements, explore your style preferences, and guide you through selecting the perfect cloth from our collection of the world's finest materials. From lapel width to button details, every choice is yours, guided by our expertise.

  • Back in the sartoria, you'll try on your test garment. We'll assess the fit, mark our adjustments, and ensure everything's tracking toward your ideal silhouette.

  • This is where it all comes together. You'll try on your completed suit, and we'll ensure every detail meets our exacting standards. From the drape of the jacket to the fall of the trousers, everything should feel just right. If any fine-tuning is needed, we'll take care of it before you take your suit home.

  • A great shirt starts with the right fit. We'll begin with our fitting shirt while taking your measurements, then guide you through our collection of over 200 fine Italian cottons. Together, we'll design your perfect shirt – from collar to cuffs, every detail matters. Your unique pattern stays with us for future orders.

  • Your completed shirt comes to life in our Melbourne workshop. We'll ensure the fit is exactly as you want it and make any necessary adjustments before you take it home.

Timing

We'll provide accurate timings during your consultation. Suits typically take between 4-6 weeks depending on construction, cloth, and style selections, while shirts are ready within 3 weeks. If you're in a hurry, chat to us — we may be able to accommodate a shorter timeframe (additional fees might apply).

Care & Alterations

Taking care of our clients and their garments is part of who we are. While we don't offer alterations to the general public, we're always here to adjust and update pieces for our clients. These garments are made to last, and we'll make sure they keep fitting perfectly throughout their lifetime. For a bit of fun, you can chat to us about changing up your existing pieces – something as simple as switching up the buttons on a jacket can give it a completely new vibe.
