Five departments. One property.
Reception, restaurant, spa, housekeeping and grounds all need different garments. A guest should still read them as one place.
How a property program comes together.
Most properties come to us mid-refurbishment, mid-rebrand, or holding a uniform that drifted one department at a time while nobody was looking at all five together.
One fabric and colour story
We settle the palette and the fabric family before a single garment is drawn, then design each department into it — tailored front of house, service wear that survives a shift, housekeeping cut for physical work, grounds staff who are outdoors all day. Front-of-house pieces are made to your specification in our own factories. The pieces differ; the property does not.
Bespoke where it shows, stocked where it does not
Front of house is usually worth manufacturing to your specification — it is the uniform every guest sees. Back of house is often better served by stocked ranges we distribute and have decorated, which cost less and restock faster. Most properties use both.
Turnover is the volume nobody budgets for
Hospitality rosters churn and garments take a beating on a wet floor. Your range stays live between programs, so replacing a scorched apron or dressing a Tuesday starter is a line item, not a reopened project.
The pass is a front-of-house department now.
An open kitchen is watched by more guests in one service than the reception desk meets in a week. So the apron on the pass is specified out of the same colour story as the tailoring at the door — cut for heat, steam and a nightly hot wash, but never bought off some other supplier's catalogue because it happens to stand behind a counter.
Walk the property, department by department.
One building, not a list of markets. From the porte-cochère to the service corridor the palette holds the whole way, and the garment changes at every stop.
Reception and concierge
Tailored and public-facing. Holds its shape through a full shift and photographs well.
Restaurant and bar
Aprons, service shirts and vests specified for spills, heat and commercial laundering.
Housekeeping
Cut for bending, lifting and reaching, in fabrics that survive a daily hot wash.
Spa and wellness
Softer fabrics and relaxed cuts that suit treatment work and read as calm.
Grounds and maintenance
Durable outdoor wear that still belongs to the same property, not generic workwear.
Events and functions
A dress-up option from the same palette, for when the room changes.
A uniform is part of the room.
- 01
It sets the tone
A guest reads the staff before they read the signage. The uniform is doing brand work whether it was designed to or not.
- 02
It has to last the season
Commercial laundering is brutal. We specify for the wash cycle the garment will actually see, not the one on the care label.
- 03
It has to fit everyone
Hospitality teams are not a sample size. Size runs cover the whole roster, with individual sizing where it is needed.
Brief us on the property.
Two things get us moving: which departments are in scope, and whether you are refurbishing around an existing palette or opening with none. Headcount whenever you have it.
