Our Story

Elegance Bespoke Tailor is the workshop of master tailor Murat Neguzel. It is built on one idea: a garment must be made for the person who wears it, by hand, with patience and with skill learned over a lifetime.

Murat has worked in tailoring since he was twelve years old. His path took him from an apprentice’s bench to Savile Row, and today he brings that experience to every client.

Learning from the First Stitch

Murat started in tailoring at the age of twelve, on the advice of a family elder. As an apprentice he learned everything from the start: how to hold a needle, how to sew by hand and the basic techniques of the trade. He also studied at a vocational apprenticeship school. After three years of theory and practice together, he became a journeyman.

Mastering Every Garment

As a journeyman, Murat mastered the construction and handwork of trousers, waistcoats, jackets, dinner suits, overcoats, shirts and tailcoats. He developed his skills in draping, cutting, pattern drafting and body analysis. He learned to read each body, including posture, a curved back or a sloping shoulder, and to put this information into the pattern.

From the Workshop to Savile Row

In his years as a master, Murat worked beside many well-known tailors and refined the finer points of the craft. He then moved into fashion and completed further training, and took part in London Fashion Week. After this, he worked for two years on Savile Row, the home of English tailoring.

An International Tailor

Murat now runs his own workshop and serves clients from across the UK and around the world. He also works as a master instructor and passes his knowledge to new tailors. He learned this craft from the very beginning, at the workbench, and he is proud to serve his clients today.
