Custom tailor with over 40 years of experience gives your treasures tradition and noble elegance

I come from a rather poor Kurdish background, I embarked on my tailor's odyssey in Istanbul in 1982. The art of bespoke tailoring became my muse, where I honed my skills crafting men's suits with meticulous attention. But I didn't stop there; women's dresses danced off my fingertips, and even curtains succumbed to my creative flair. In the 90s, destiny led me to Germany. For 23 years now, my tailor shop has graced Düsseldorf's Friedrichstraße. It's more than a shop; it's where threads of tradition and contemporary elegance intertwine. With each stitch, my hands weave stories, transcending borders and generations. My journey encapsulates not just tailoring, but a lifelong devotion to craftsmanship and the art of creation.

What do you like most in you work?

From reviving outdated elegance to embracing the Repair Rebels ethos, my journey extends beyond creating. I find joy in breathing new life into clothing through alterations and repairs. Men's and women's business suits are my canvas of choice, a symphony of transformation. A decade and a half ago, there was a singular cut; today, it's evolved. With subtle adjustments, I infuse a modern flair, bridging the past and present. This philosophy mirrors Repair Rebels – a belief in cherishing what's already there, rather than chasing what's new. Amidst a world overflowing with attire, I stand as an educated tailor, dedicated to rejuvenating existing garments. It's not just a craft; it's a commitment to sustainability and the art of preservation. In a universe of excess, I've chosen the path of mending, a journey that speaks to the heart of timeless style.

Which brands do you like most?

Suitsupply holds a special place in my heart – their Düsseldorf shop included. Their suits boast fantastic cuts, colors, and materials. A bonus: there's ample fabric to play with, simplifying alterations. Customer smiles fuel my passion, and quality fuels customer satisfaction. Quality isn't just a boon for wear, it's a repair-friendly trait. My aim is simple: happy customers, quality work, and a touch of Suitsupply style.

What are your hobbies?

Beyond the sewing machine, my love for arts and crafts knows no bounds. Painting, woodworking, and crafting hold my interest. Quality coffee also holds a special place in my heart – I'm even known to dabble as a barista. Life's a canvas, and I'm painting it with a tapestry of creativity and flavors.
