THE END OF "ALFAIATARIA PICADILLY "



There was no one to rescue this beautiful Taylors shop, which is one the last remaining in the area around Chiado and the Baixa Quarter in Lisbon.
The philosophy, atmosphere and decor in a Savile Row” flavour “were there since almost a century...and everything came straight from London.
This sartorial temple and its true “bespoke” tradition were sustained by a team of true artisans...
The customers were very connected with a number of Gentlemen's clubs in the area...
But, Gentlemen are an in danger of extinction specimen group... and with less and less money ... so this Taylor’s establishment will close very soon and with it, one more piece of European Sartorial Tradition will disappear forever...
