Gavel is a family-run boutique atelier and fashion house in Zurich dedicated to the principles of holistic and slow fashion, combining Swiss precision with Italian tailoring artistry in the spirit of a true master tailor. At its helm stands founder, designer, and pattern maker Maria Gavel, whose expertise allows us to offer the rare service of haute couture for women in Switzerland, as well as the most refined bespoke tailoring.
Our flagship creations are handcrafted men’s suits – both bespoke and made-to-measure – crafted by our Italian partners with deep respect for traditional craftsmanship. A unique measuring technique that takes posture and balance into account, together with the exclusive use of “honest” natural fabrics, ensures a harmony of form, comfort, and individuality.
The same high standards apply to our alteration atelier, where we specialize in complex adjustments and restorations of luxurious garments and materials, including leather and cashmere. Every piece we create or refine is meant to highlight your personality and instill confidence.
We work in a private, serene setting and by appointment only, so that each client receives our full and personal attention. Gavel is your Atelier of Confidence and a place where elegance is truly tailored.
