Vintage clothing has seen a revival in fortunes in the last decade. The economic landscape may have contributed to this, but more important is the fact that 'they don't make clothes like they used to' any more. Mass production and cheap imports have shone a light on the excellent quality of fabrics and tailoring of the clothes our mothers and grandmothers wore.
Resurrection Boutique is a welcome stop for men who want and need to look smart, but don't have the time or inclination to trawl through the shops in busy London shopping precincts. Our range of designer suits for men are razor sharp, brand new and can be altered to fit to perfection*. We also undertake all kinds of repairs, from mending and darning to sewing on buttons, as well as larger alterations.
We've all been there. That J300 silk dress is dated, even though it's still in good condition. Or maybe we're a bit dated, and the dress we once slid into easily is straining at the seams! Garments like this just sit in our wardrobes because we can't bear to throw them out. At Resurrection Boutique, we find there is rarely an item that cannot be salvaged.
Having worked with the world's top designers, across the range of different garment types to the highest possible standards, Resurrection Boutique is among the few independent dressmaking services in London that can offer such professionalism and quality of finish. Bridal wear is a particular speciality, with proprietor Yuksel Karaagac having won the prestigious Debenhams' Golden Star Award for wedding fitting and alterations.
At Resurrection Boutique, we design and craft quality leather handbags, with features and flourishes like no other manufacturer, at highly competitive prices. Whether you're looking for a durable everyday bag that will make you smile whenever you use it, to complement a special outfit, or perhaps a special gift for a friend, a Resurrection Boutique handbag may be just the answer.

I can not recomment the Resurrection Boutique highly enough. Yuksel is not only an alterations genius, but she also makes you feel really comfortable and confident that she has your best interest at heart and will make you look stunning. She really did an absolutely amazing job with a dress enlargement and I can't thank her enough. Whatever your alteration requirements, go to the Resurrection Boutique, you won't regret it.

Yuksel is an excellent tailor who can make garments from scratch, undertake major alterations, restore or invisibly mend favourite garments and copy ones from scratch. She is the best seamstress I know, with excellent design skills, and I would unhesitatingly recommend her services. Every time I have got her to copy an item of clothing or restore something that has sustained damage or wear, she has been ready with helpful suggestions and done a really professional job.

I will never set foot inside this shop again. Yuksel has been rude in the past but this time she was incredibly rude. I was a little surprised at how pricey an alteration was and her reply was to fling the garment across the table and say 'you want to do it yourself, you do it yourself'! 'You can find a dry cleaners and get it done cheaper' 'I am busy and haven't got time for this' then she left me half way through the discussion and walked into her alteration room. In the local area her terrible attitude to customers is pretty well known. Her work is pretty average. If I were you, I really wouldn

Has a couple of trousers taken in, tapered and repaired. Got the job done within the week and texted me to let me know when ready. Friendly service and the work was good. Had to wait outside for a little while when I went to collect as the owner was out the shop which was a little inconvenient but all in all the experience was good.
