Vegan Suits for Southbank clients
A vegan suit avoids wool, silk and other animal-derived materials, in the cloth and in the trims.
We will walk you through the cloths, linings and buttons available so every part of the garment matches your values.
Many Southbank clients wear a suit most days, so durable cloths and a reliable fit matter most.
Clients from the CBD and inner city often pop over on their lunch break or after work; Bridge Road is a short tram ride east.
Our Richmond showroom on 214 Bridge Road is roughly 3 km from Southbank.
Neighbours in Melbourne CBD, South Melbourne and Docklands often come in together for group and wedding orders.
We see clients from across City of Melbourne, including Southbank (3006).
We don't hand your garment over until you're happy with the fit. Any adjustments are made by our in-house tailor.
