About Us
Atelier Society is a revolutionary fitting service . Atelier Society eliminates provides fit feedback to customers sharing how the clothing item they are interested in will fit in person (too long, too short, too large in the waist, etc.), and offers fit accommodations through its just-in-time tailoring service, which allows apparel to be tailored before it arrives at customer’s doors.
Atelier Society ensures that when customers receive apparel, the apparel is precisely the size, fit, and length the customer expects.
Who We Are
We are two friends who had a crazy idea: when you buy clothing online, it should fit!
We've had successful careers, and have put those careers behind us to create a startup because of a sincere calling. We are fed up with the fit issues in the apparel industry and their negative impact on people and the environment. We have discovered a revolutionary solution that every single person we talk to wants us to use. We are committed to bringing Atelier Society to the world because we know we have struck gold with our innovative solution and we are the perfectly to bring this solution to market.
