Camel wool coat draped over the shoulder
01 — Silhouette

Every season begins with one silhouette. We build the rest of the collection outward from it.

Calico toile draped on a tailor's stand
02 — Pattern

Patterns are drafted by hand and cut in calico, fitted on the stand before we touch the cloth.

Folded bolts of wool cloth in earthy tones
03 — Cloth

We buy from a short list of mills in Italy and Scotland we have worked with for years.

Hand-finishing a button in the atelier
04 — Tailoring

Each piece is tailored, pressed, and finished in our own atelier. Nothing leaves the building unchecked.

Completed look on the rail
05 — Collection

Two collections a year, cut in small runs, made to outlast the season they arrive in.

Méridien is a small tailoring house making ready-to-wear one collection at a time, cut and finished entirely under one roof.
