All Atelier NA sales advisers are up to date with the latest trends and ensure the process goes smoothly for those who may never have visited a tailor’s store before. The customer receives style advice in order to deter­mine the right options and designs, and the sty­le adviser takes some extra manual measurements that will define the customer’s preferences, for example, the length of the trouser.

Atelier NA’s seasonal collections echo the latest trends. Shirts are made from the best cotton poplin from Thomas Mason, or INDUO® water-re­pellent fabrics. All materials from Atelier NA are decatized in order to avoid shrinkage at the dry cleaners. All ranges have these modifications, positioning Atelier NA as a major player in bespoke garments for men.

Once an order has been placed with the brand, all the measurements are saved in Atelier NA’s system, family and friends can then conveniently order a garment, safe in the knowledge that it will fit perfectly.
