Craft and fabrics
Every robe begins with the fabric. We work with two lines – one for the collection, one for made-to-measure. Both born of a single standard.
One standard, two ways to reach it
Behind the graduation collection – caps, gowns, accessories – stands our own fabric brand FIT4GRAD: designed in Bavaria, developed for feel, durability and fit.
Those who need made-to-measure turn to Manufaktur Bavaria – tailored in Bavaria, from the fabrics of the world's finest weavers. Two answers to the same question: what should a special moment be worn in?
