We welcome customers the world over. As you would expect, to sew custom-made garments requires individual meetings. For certain orders, therefore, a visit or more is required to our tailorshop in Rättvik. Let us know how we can be of assistance with your trip. We can be of assistance in planning you trip, and time your fittings around activities that interest you. If you are one of those that is interested in sewing your folkdräkt yourself, you can take a course with us and thereby get the support and instruction you need to sew the garment properly, as well as access to quality machines and workspace. An added dimension is the contact with others working on their projects, sharing the course time together. All are welcome!
Please stop in!
