Upcycling vintage items

Many of us have fallen in love with antique pieces unearthed at second-hand stores or flea markets. And sometimes these need a few alterations, whether in size or style.

The workman's jacket, for example, like the schoolmaster's jacket, is a good base to work from that you can customise to your heart's content.

So don't hesitate any longer to fall for these favourite garments and wear
unique pieces with a rich and authentic history.

Customise a vintage worker's jacket

To customise this pretty vintage workman's jacket, our team of Tillistes has come up with two ideas, both equally singular.

The first involves cutting and sewing
fabric inserts, in this case in the colours of France: blue, white, red. The second, cutting and sewing a single yoke whose shape is up to your wildest imagination. Here: a starfish!

So, what do you think? Do you already have a preference?

Of course, you can imagine lots of variations, depending on
your style and your desires. More discreet fabric inserts, gradient colours, the addition of embroidered beads...

Since it's your jacket,
we'll customise it to your image.

Book an appointment with us via our website or directly via the Tilli app and let's customise your jacket together.
You will receive your tailor at home and share a special moment during which you can discuss your expectations and all your desires.
Within 3 to 5 working days of this appointment, your new jacket will be delivered to you by courier. A dream come true, don't you think?
