From meetings to updates, we offer an experience that exists beyond
your finished product.
MH Mena strives to create elegant, tailor-made creations and all the work is rooted in the connections, care and creative potential nurtured with clients.
The couture process always begins with a one-on-one consultation at a time and a place that suits you. Dedicating as much time as you need throughout the creative process is pivotal to everything that is done at MH Mena.
In this meeting, we'll discuss the time, occasion, and what you dream about wearing for this occasion. Notes will be taken and shared with our Creative Director Mena Hamoodi. This meeting will take place in London, or virtually, or under special requests, the team will travel to you.
Our team of highly skilled seamstresses will meet and measure you in London, during the first consultation. Under special requests, measurements can be taken from your destination and/or virtually.
After the first consultation, Creative Director Mena Hamoodi will produce a personalised sketch for you. A follow-up appointment will be scheduled to approve the sketch and make any alterations prior to designing your couture garment.
From your measurements, our atelier will construct a bespoke mannequin that will embody your figure. The garment designed will be crafted and altered solely on this made-to-measure figure. Your mannequin will be archived for future garments.
Once the design is finalised, the fabrics and patterns are crafted on your bespoke mannequin. Our couturiers in the atelier take each design, shape, and fabric, then sculpt them to create the toile of your design.
Completely bespoke, the hand-crafted garment can take up to 2500 hours to create. The artisans will bring the finer details to life and present yours and Mena’s reflections. At the final fitting, the team of seamstresses and Mena will ensure the garment is perfect for your aesthetics.
Mena works to equip you with the highest standards of quality and materials as well as continuously cultivating relationships and building bonds that can last a lifetime. Every step of the process, from meetings to updates, she ensures all of her work is incorporated into the lifestyle and needs of her clients; no matter the occasion or the brief. All of this is channeled into every sketch, cut and stitch we make.
