Melbourne is often called the fashion capital of Australia, but for us at Mr Cuff, fashion isn’t just about what you see on the runway; it’s about the hands that hold the shears and the stories woven into every seam.

This February, as part of the PayPal Melbourne Fashion Festival (MFF) Independent Programme, we are opening the doors to our world. We invite you to join us for an exclusive afternoon that celebrates the “Makers” behind the brand: Bespoke Makers of Melbourne.

A Celebration of Craftsmanship

On Sunday, 15 February, we’re moving the workshop to the sophisticated surroundings of The Cellar at Rodd & Gunn on Little Collins Street. This isn’t just an exhibition; it’s an invitation to witness a dying art being brought back to life.

Guests will enjoy:

• Live Tailoring: A rare look at the hand-cutting and traditional stitching techniques we use every day in our City and Docklands studios.
• A Taste of Luxury: A glass of prosecco on arrival, followed by a curated boutique wine tasting and seasonal canapés from the Cellar’s new local-produce menu.
• The Makers’ Story: An intimate conversation with our lead tailors, Jarrad Cuff and Marco Rachele.

Real Tailors. Real Stories.

At Mr Cuff, we’ve always believed that clothing should be an extension of yourself, not just fabric. Our mission has been clear since Jarrad founded the label in 2019: revive the legacy of bespoke tailoring in Australia.

When you visit our workshop, you won’t find salespeople; you’ll find skilled tailors. Whether it’s Jarrad’s background in contemporary fashion design or Marco’s third-generation Italian tailoring heritage, our team is dedicated to the “old-fashioned” way of doing things. We work in full view of the street—not as a performance, but as a commitment to transparency and the craftsmanship we take pride in.

Sustainable. Locally Made. Australian Grown.

Our philosophy is rooted in the Australian lifestyle. We exclusively use the finest natural fabrics, with a heavy emphasis on premium Australian wool.

In an era of fast fashion, we choose a different path:

• 100% Melbourne Made: Every stitch happens right here in our local workshop.
• Low-Waste Luxury: We are perfectionists who hate waste. Our textile scraps are repurposed into unique accessories, ensuring a circular approach to luxury.
• Made to Last: We don’t design for seasons; we design for lifetimes.

Join Us This February

Whether you’re a long-time client or someone who appreciates the finer details of a well-made suit, we would love to share this afternoon with you. Let’s toast to the future of Melbourne’s tailoring tradition.
