Our history

Our Legacy: Craftsmanship, Sustainability, and Innovation

We are Ben and Mehmet Aydin, the founders of City Tailors, and our journey in the world of tailoring began long before we set foot in the UK. In the late 1980s, we started as apprentices in Istanbul’s renowned textiles industry, where we honed our skills in garment manufacturing, crafting high-end clothing for both men and women. It was here that we developed our passion for precision, quality, and the artistry of tailoring.

When we moved to the UK, we brought with us years of expertise and a deep appreciation for fine craftsmanship. After establishing ourselves as master tailors in London, we decided to make Bath our home in 2010. Here, we built City Tailors, a tailoring house founded on the principles of expert craftsmanship, attention to detail, and an unwavering commitment to quality. Today, we are proud to be the trusted choice for discerning clients across Bath, Brighton, and beyond—serving those who appreciate the art of bespoke tailoring and precision alterations.

As City Tailors has grown, so has our dedication to circular fashion. We don’t just create exceptional garments; we extend their life through expert alterations, meticulous repairs, and sustainable restyling. Our mission is to help our clients make thoughtful fashion choices that reduce waste while preserving the elegance and integrity of their wardrobes.

With the opening of our Brighton studio, we are excited to bring our craftsmanship and sustainability ethos to an even wider audience. Whether in Bath or Brighton, our team of skilled tailors, dressmakers, and seamstresses are committed to delivering the highest standards of fit, quality, and finish.

Our Philosophy: Timeless Tailoring with a Sustainable Approach

Bath and Brighton have always been synonymous with quality and exclusivity, and we take great pride in embodying that reputation at City Tailors. For us, true luxury is not just about using the finest materials or achieving impeccable tailoring—it’s about conscious craftsmanship that respects both the wearer and the environment.

Beyond bespoke and made-to-measure tailoring, we specialize in expert garment alterations, precise repairs, and upcycling services. Whether it’s refining a couture gown, modernizing a beloved suit, or restoring a treasured heirloom piece, we ensure that every garment is crafted to perfection and built to last. Our clothing alterations in Bath and Brighton cater to those who seek sustainability without compromising on style and fit.

Every day, we work closely with our clients, helping them bring their vision to life—from selecting the perfect fabric to crafting intricate design elements. Each piece we create or refine tells a story, reflecting our dedication to artistry, sustainability, and individual style.
