Prestige AwardsFair pricing
Pay for the work your garment actually needs.
A single advertised price has to allow for the most complicated version of a job. That can leave people with simpler garments paying too much. With more than 1,800 individual prices, we assess the garment and quote for its actual construction and the work required.
