OUR STORY
It all started from an idea: To combine old-school tailoring with technology while making our products accessible and affordable.
In October 2015, SUITABLEE was launched in Montréal, Canada. We didn’t have an office. We didn’t have a webpage. No one in the fashion industry knew about us. We had no fancy grants and startup money. But we did have the work ethic, the background, and the passion. Here we were, two engineers launching into the large world of custom suits.
Our first years were about proving the demand for affordable custom suits. We made it easy and accessible – we would spend time on the road fitting all types of customers at their homes and offices. Whether in the rain, snow – we spent two years as mobile tailors. It wasn’t easy, but we pushed forward while learning all the intricacies about custom tailoring. We stuck to it, spending countless hours by the sides of tailors, understanding all the ins and outs of what made a perfect suit.
In this journey, we learned everything about suits and dress shirts. We developed a state-of-the-art platform on suitablee.com to help in the design process. We learned all about marketing and partnerships. And most importantly, we learned about our customers and what they wanted: Quality, speed, precision, and affordability.
Today, we’ve taken deep dives into artificial intelligence, body scans, and efficiencies to produce perfect-fitting garments at a fraction of the price our competitors can offer. Technology is what differentiates us from the pack – we’re efficient and have reduced errors and all the overhead needed to produce sick suits.
As we continue to expand, our business model remains nimble, efficient, and effective. We've recently added three physical storefronts to complement our online presence – one in the historic Old Port of Montreal, another in the prestigious Quartier Dix30 in Brossard, and a new showroom in downtown Ottawa. While we've embraced these new physical locations, we still serve a significant portion of our customers online. Our growth has been driven by our unwavering dedication and commitment to quality. We believe that our customers shouldn't bear the burden of inefficiencies and high rents, and we remain committed to providing exceptional value in every tailored suit.
