Alterations are the specialty
From a simple hem to reshaping a jacket or dress, the goal is straightforward: preserve the garment and make it fit the way it should.
How it works
Start with an alteration, cleaning request, custom project, or pickup inquiry. For fitted work, we assess the garment before starting.
We review the garment, explain the service, and confirm the work before it moves into alteration, cleaning, or custom production.
Once your garments are complete, pickup or local return delivery can be coordinated where available.
Pickup & delivery
Local pickup and delivery is designed to make routine dry cleaning and garment care easier. Service areas will be announced as operations launch.
30+ years of tailoring experience
Essential is built around Masbah Qoraishi’s more than 30 years of tailoring and textile experience in Turkey, including garment work for national and international fashion clients.
