About SALVE, made-to-measure menswear in Gurugram
A made-to-measure house in Gurugram. One cutter, nine jackets a month, and a pattern that stays on file once we have taken it.
Salve means hello. It also means be well.
Nobody enjoys the shop
The showroom appointment, the queue, the mirror you cannot see yourself in. Most men do not avoid tailoring because of the price. They avoid it because of the afternoon it costs.
We bring the shop to your table
Six swatch books, two finished garments and one cutter. An hour at your home or office in Gurugram, and eighteen measurements that never need taking again.
Nine jackets a month
One bench, one cutter, a fourteen-day make with a fitting at day eight. When the month is full we say so rather than stretch the promise.
Eight cloths we keep coming back to
The people who cut it
Cuts every pattern on the book. The person at your table is the person at the bench.
Bastes by hand so the fitting at day eight can still change anything.
Presses, finishes and packs every commission before it leaves.
