Blandin Delloye's know how

A recognised expertise from 2013

Since 2013, Blandin Delloye's know-how in made-to-measure clothing has been built around advanced mastery of pattern-making. This unique expertise extends from the precise gathering of information in the boutique to the successful realization of patterns in the workshop. We are proud to share this know-how through our tailoring and the great drapers with which we work, thus creating made-to-measure outfits of exceptional quality.

Blandin Delloye’s mastery of production methods for the different pieces that make up a formal wardrobe is expressed through every stage of confection, and every type of construction; from fused canvasing to a full canvas construction to create tailor-made pieces of unrivalled quality. The expertise of our workshops, which also produce our shoes and other accessories, ensures that our know-how doesn’t stop at suits and shirts.

We rigorously select raw materials of the highest quality, guaranteeing long-lasting, refined products. With our expertise in pattern-making and our commitment to providing you with quality styling advice, we create timeless pieces that combine elegance and comfort.

The made to measure

Made-to-measure pattern-making is a key element in the success of a custom-made piece. As part of the Blandin & Delloye academy, all Blandin & Delloye advisors are trained on arrival and throughout the year to be the best and most accurate in gathering information for optimal pattern-making.

From a practical point of view, the Blandin & Delloye advisor takes bodily measurements with a tape measure. Then the customer tries on templates. The aim of this stage, which is fundamental to the measuring process, is to precisely define the desired cut and identify the customer’s posture and morphology (position of shoulders, pelvis, stance, protruding shoulder blades, bowed legs…).

The world's best drapers

Blandin Delloye’s expertise is also based on its choice to work with the finest drapers in Italy (Biella region) and England (Huddersfield). The fabrics we use are selected according to the quality of their raw materials (wool, mohair, silk, cashmere, cotton, linen… and their weave).

From thousands of references, we select between 500 and 700 that we stock in our workshop. Simultaneously, we offer over 6,000 fabric references for cut-length options.

The main drapers we work with are : Vitale Barberis Canonico, Dormeuil, Holland & Sherry, Dugdale, Reda, Loro Piana, Tolegno, Huddersfield, Marzotto ….
