Whether you’re dreaming of a one-of-a-kind garment or selecting a slow-fashion piece made just for you, we offer a transparent, collaborative process tailored to your needs.
How It Works: Your Journey with Maison Magenta
Production Timeline & Pricing
Standard production time:
2 to 6 months, depending on design complexity and our atelier's schedule.
How Pricing Works
Each bespoke order is quoted in two parts:
A. Labour
£30–£50 per hour
Rate varies based on design complexity, couture detailing, and number of fittings.
B. Materials
Cost of fabric, trims, specialist sourcing, and finishes.
You may provide your own fabric or we can source it for you (£100 sourcing fee if applicable).
Express Service
Need your garment sooner?
Express Orders (under 2 months) incur a
+30–50% surcharge depending on timeline and availability.
Please mention this in your consultation request.
Final Quote & Contract
A tailored price quote and detailed timeline will be emailed to you within 3 working days of your initial consultation. This will be accompanied by a contract outlining all next steps and payment terms.
Bespoke Couture: Handcrafted From Vision to Garment
(Steps 1–9)
Each bespoke piece is a creative collaboration from the first sketch to the final stitch.
Stage 1: Consultation
Book a 15-minute Zoom call to share your ideas and ask questions.
We'll guide you through what’s possible, share initial design directions, and provide a timeline and quote estimate.
Typically booking 1–2 months in advance.
Stage 2: Design File
You’ll receive a tailored concept pack:
-
Moodboard & Colour Palette
-
Research Images
-
10–20 Design Sketches
-
Fabric Sourcing Suggestions
(Design file £250 | Fabric sourcing £100 if not provided)
Stage 3: Final Design Selection
A second consultation to select your final garment design and fabric.
We then provide your official quote, broken down by:
A. Labour Hours | B. Materials & Expenses
(Sent within 3 days)
Stage 4: Measurements
We can measure you in person, or send a simple guide if remote.
Don’t worry if it’s your first time — adjustments are made during the first fitting.
Stage 5: Pattern Cutting
We draft a custom pattern from your chosen design.
Follow the process via our Instagram Stories.
Stage 6: First Toile
A prototype is cut in calico to bring your design to life in 3D.
Stage 7: Fitting Appointment
Try on your toile in person. We’ll refine the fit and confirm the final fabric before production begins.
Stage 8: Final Adjustments
We amend the pattern after fitting, then either make a second toile or begin crafting your final garment.
Stage 9: Handover
Your bespoke garment is ready — perfectly fitted and handmade to last.
