Bespoke Retail
What does tailoring, a café and a retail store have in common you ask? We’ll tell you. Welcome to the next big thing – experiential, full service retailing with a twist.
Take an old pastime (in this case artisan style bespoke tailoring), add two achingly hip guys (founders Thom and James) and throw in a unique retail space (destination style studio overlooking Elizabeth street) and you have the answer.
Should you require a bespoke tailored suit from Statler and Waldorf (Thom Grogans label) or perhaps a pair of stylish leather shoes from cobbler JS Roberts (James Roberts label) you just need to rock up to Captains of Industry and have a chat, get fitted out and perhaps have a coffee or a bite to eat whilst you’re there.
It’s a meeting ground for the new generation of cool that appreciate authentic design, the artisan qualities of having something made to fit just you and only you without a hint of pretentiousness. It’s all very relaxed and charming and a true “Melbournian” pleasure to uncover.
This is one place where you take your time, discover the meaning of true service and walk away feeling part of an exclusive club.
