"Good dressing is like having a love affair with your clothes, playing with patterns and teasing
the colours into a harmonious relationship.„

Since 2001 Simon Skottowe Bespoke Tailors has been a haven for all style conscious gentlemen in the heart of central Budapest. Unique in the area, as the only menswear producer and retailer owned and managed by a London trained tailor, Simon Skottowe Ltd. produces fine bespoke pieces, develops his private label collections and retails, such as tiespocket squares and leather accessories, an eclectic selection of some of the finest menswear brands from all around Europe.

Simon’s interest in sewing started early, when he was 7 years old, and quickly became an obsession. Textiles of all sorts held a fascination and he was instinctively drawn towards beautiful clothes. While studying for a Fashion Degree his interest became focused on tailored menswear and that has been his career choice for the last 30 years.

Since the inception of the business 15 years ago, the company’s renowned has spread and now numbers clients throughout most of Europe.

In 2015 we decided to launch our private label shirt collection and last summer added a new line of pique sport shirts, which we followed up with a trouser collection. The latest development being the launch of our online store. Not content he is planning also to have produced a collection of selvedge denim to complete his „total look”. Bringing to bear his decades of knowledge the private label is appreciated as much abroad as here in Hungary and is slowly building an international following.

Combining our retail and private label with our bespoke pieces, our mission is to enlighten men about the infinite possibilities of classic and contemporary dressing and help them towards finding their own personal aesthetic.
