What we do

Two crafts, done exceptionally well.

We keep our focus narrow on purpose. Cleaning and tailoring are skills built over years, and we’d rather master them than spread thin.

Eco-Friendly Dry Cleaning

Our eco-friendly dry cleaning process ensures your garments are thoroughly cleaned while preserving fabric quality and color. Gentle on delicate fibers, gentler on the planet — and exacting on results.

  • Suits, blazers & formalwear
  • Dresses, blouses & delicates
  • Coats, knits & everyday wear

Alterations & Tailoring

Our expert tailors adjust, repair, or customize your clothing to ensure the perfect fit for any garment — from simple hems to complex restructuring, fitted in person at our L Street counter. Bring us the piece you love but never quite reach for.

  • Hems, waists & sleeve adjustments
  • Repairs, zippers & relining
  • Tailoring & full restructuring
