Who We Are

Altbes is a multi award winning tailoring atelier in Pimlico, central London, founded as a mother and daughter business with a shared vision, deep respect for craft and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

Conveniently located, the atelier is just a 3-minute walk from Pimlico Station and 10 minutes from Victoria Station, making it easily accessible for both local clients and those arriving from further afield.

With formal education from FIT, the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, and over a decade of experience across New York and London, including Savile Row, London Fashion Week and leading fashion studios, we have shaped a tailoring house that stands apart. Altbes brings together generations, disciplines and perspectives, resulting in a refined yet modern approach to tailoring that feels both considered and personal.

At its core, Altbes is built on exceptional craftsmanship, warm and professional service and a perfectionist mindset. Every garment reflects patience, precision and care, along with an understanding that tailoring is both technical and deeply human.

The atelier is a welcoming and thoughtfully curated space where clients are met with expertise, honesty and genuine attention. Every project, from small to large, is treated with the same level of care and respect, allowing ideas to be explored fully and brought to life with confidence.

Altbes is a positive and inclusive environment where individuality is celebrated and creativity is supported. It is a judgement free space where each fashion idea or moment of curiosity is approached with experience, openness and care, always centred on the client.

Our work has been recognised through multiple awards, including Best Tailoring in London at the Prestige Awards 2025 and 2026, a Women Business Awards nomination and Shane Certification. We have also collaborated on projects for clients such as Lewis Hamilton, Agent Provocateur, Harrods, Fiorucci, Halsey, Kensington Palace, Chris Eubank Jr, Black Pink, Frankie Bridge, FKA Twigs, Lulu Guinness, Ayra Starr, Zegna, Gucci, the London Palladium, Nat Kelley, Asake at the O2, Janet Jackson’s lead stylist and etc.

From the invisible repair of a beloved knit to a fully bespoke couture wedding dress with custom hand embroidered veil, every piece receives the same level of focus, care and craftsmanship.

Thank you for choosing Altbes for your next tailoring project.

Respectfully,

Zlata Ksen
