Everything we do

A clear list of what we clean —
and how long it takes.

Pricing depends on the fabric and the work involved, so we quote each piece at drop-off. The starting prices below give you a feel for it. No surprises at pickup.

What to expect

From counter to closet, in five quiet steps.

Same routine for a $4 shirt and a $4,000 gown. The piece is logged, looked over, treated by hand, finished, and held for you on the rack.

01

Drop-off

We tag every piece with your name — never a paper ticket on the garment.

02

Inspection

Buttons checked, pockets emptied, stains marked and discussed with you.

03

Treatment

Spot-cleaned by hand before anything else touches it.

04

Pressing

Hand-finished on the right form — collars, lapels, pleats.

05

Pickup

Hung on the rack under your name. Most orders ready next day.

Signature service

Wedding gown preservation, done the slow way.

We've boxed gowns for brides who walked down the aisle in 1962 and brides who got married last Saturday. Every gown is hand-cleaned, inspected stitch-by-stitch, wrapped in acid-free tissue, and sealed in a museum-grade box you can open in fifty years and not find a yellow mark.

We also handle christening gowns, military uniforms, and the occasional theatrical costume.

Common questions

Things people ask at the counter.

Don't see yours? Call (646) 329-5461 or stop in.

Every piece is quoted at drop-off so we can look at the fabric, lining and any spots. The 'from' prices on this page are starting points for clean, simple pieces — heavy beading, silk linings or stains move the number up. No surprises at pickup.

Often, yes. Tell us what you remember — when, what you were eating or drinking, and whether anyone has tried to clean it already. Heat-set stains and old set-in marks are the hardest, but we'll be honest before we start.

Free pickup and delivery within Murray Hill, Kips Bay and Midtown East for orders over $40. Schedule by phone or in person — we're old-school about it on purpose.

Right after the wedding is best, while everything is still fresh. Preservation takes 2–3 weeks. If it's been sitting for a while, bring it anyway — we've worked on gowns that were boxed up decades ago.

Yes. Same-day on shirts and most everyday pieces if dropped off before 9am. Rush on coats and tailoring depends on the work — call ahead.

Don't see what you need? Just ask.

We've handled christening gowns, opera capes, vintage Hermès scarves, and the occasional theatre costume. If it's fabric, start the conversation.
