The Material
We begin with the cloth. Cashmere graded by hand, wool flannel milled to a compact, fluid fall, silk woven on narrow looms for a heavier, more honest drape. The material is chosen first, and the garment is cut to serve it — never the other way around.
The Hand
Every garment passes through the hands of our atelier seven times. The cutting, the fitting, the pressing, the setting of closures, the linings, the hand-finished seams, and the final balance. We work to the speed of the hand, because the hand knows when a line is true before the eye can confirm it.
The Detail
A buttonhole set by hand has a soft roll — the silk chords are laid in and pulled until they form a raised lip around the opening. It takes twelve minutes to set a single buttonhole. There are six on the Luxama Coat. This is not nostalgia. The hand-set buttonhole holds its shape for the life of the garment.
The Finish
The garment is balanced on the form for a full day before the hem is set, allowing the fabric to settle into its final weight. Linings are cut to breathe. Edges are skived by hand for a crisp, architectural line. The finish is what allows a piece to be worn for a decade — and to look better at the end of it than at the beginning.
