Introducing Tulerie x Alts: Our Most Luxurious Collaboration Yet

If there’s one thing Tulerie and Alts excel at, it’s challenging the status quo. At Tulerie, we believe in renewing rather than buying new, especially when sharing luxury fashion. We’ve realized that tailoring isn’t just about fit—it’s about extending the life of your wardrobe, too. We sought a master tailor to recommend to our New Yorker Tulerettes, helping them maintain and share their luxury pieces for longer. 

Alts (Alteration Specialists), established in 2014, is dedicated to providing “exceptional tailoring and a superior customer experience,” according to their website. With 14 studios throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn, their teams consist of skilled master tailors from diverse backgrounds, each bringing decades of expertise. Specializing in everything from everyday wear to the most delicate pieces, Alts is trusted by thousands of clients, including luxury fashion houses, bridal boutiques, retail stores, and prominent stylists and influencers. Their commitment to quality has earned them the title “New York’s Most Genius Tailor,” according to Vogue.

This dedication to craftsmanship aligns with Tulerie’s values, where members appreciate high-quality pieces that stay in their closets for years. Both brands share a vision for circular fashion and sustainability—through rentals and tailoring, garments are given a new life. Do you have pieces in your wardrobe that need some tailor TLC before they make their Tulerie debut?

TULERIE: WHAT SETS ALTS APART FROM OTHER TAILORS? 

Elieen Nuñez: At Alts, we aim to offer a personalized tailoring experience from start to finish, providing convenient scheduling, 1:1 consultations with a master fitter, and private spacious fitting rooms.

WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM CENTURIES OF THE ART OF TAILORING THAT WE CAN APPLY TO THE MODERN AGE?

Care for our garments is lost with fast fashion. The art of tailoring allows you to not only expand the lifespan of a garment but customize it to you and your body so that you always feel your best in your clothes.

WHAT ARE THE CURRENT TRENDS IN THE TAILORING INDUSTRY?

The current trends in tailoring are modifications of necklines, the oversized fit (but perfectly tailored), hemmed garments to clients' preferences, and altering swimsuits and knitwear. We see just about everything!

HOW CAN TAILORING, CUSTOMIZING, OR REPAIRING GARMENTS BE USED TO CREATE A MORE SUSTAINABLE APPROACH TO ONE’S WARDROBE?

Sustainability is at the core of our business at Alts and inherent to the art of tailoring. Alts is committed to thoughtful, minimal consumption and proactive waste management. Our environmental and community impact is central to every decision we make.

SINCE JOINING THE ALTS TEAM, WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED ABOUT WASTE IN THE WORLD OF FASHION THAT HAS SURPRISED YOU?

In the U.S. alone, the average person throws away about 81 lbs of textile waste annually. 81 lbs!

WHAT ARE CREATIVE WAYS SOMEONE COULD UPCYCLE EXISTING PIECES IN THEIR WARDROBE TO REDUCE THEIR CONSUMPTION? 

There are so many ways to switch up your existing garments to make them feel brand new. Some of these include:

• Making long pants into shorts

• Adding straps to a dress

• Changing the style of a garment, adding panels to make it looser, or making it a tighter fit

• Adding a corset back to a dress

-As always, elevate your wardrobe with respected fashion and embrace the shift in style.
