Eleven people.One room in Porto.
Sartor began in 1962 as a one-man tailoring shop. It is still a small team around a single cutting table, now making forty of each piece at a time.
Sixty years,
measured.
The first shop
Manuel Sartor opens a one-room tailoring shop on Rua das Flores.
The first overcoat run
Forty coats, numbered and sold in a week. The idea sticks.
The cutting table
The atelier moves into its current room, with one long oak table.
Online, in small runs
The same runs of forty, shipped across Europe.
Eleven people
Four cutters, five makers, one fitter and one repairer.
The people
Everyone who touches a garment signs the label inside the pocket.
Inês Moreira
Head cutter, 22 years
Manuel Sartor Jr.
Master tailor and fitter
Rui Fernandes
Canvas and pad stitching
Ana Castro
Repairs and alterations
Cut once
Every pattern is drafted by hand, tested on a person and then fixed. We do not cut a second version to chase a trend.
Repair for life
Send any piece back, at any age. We mend it for the cost of postage, and tell you how it was made.
Small runs
Forty of each piece, then the run ends. No restocks, no markdowns, and nothing left over in a warehouse.
Come and see
the table.
The atelier is open Tuesday to Saturday. Book a fitting, or just walk in and watch the cutters work.
