Our partnership with Burgh Island began with a simple email from Simon, the hotel’s concierge, who proposed a unique project: bespoke suits for the island’s front-of-house team.
The team, including Manager Vlad, Concierge Simon and Symi, spent a full day at our boutique selecting materials, styles, and initial measurements. This marked the beginning of a bespoke tailoring journey designed to reflect the luxury that Burgh Island embodies.
As we sourced high-quality cloth from Holland and Sherry of Savile Row and chose distinctive art deco linings from Bernstein and Banleys, the Burgh Island team invited us to visit. This wasn’t just a meeting but an experience that allowed us to understand the environment and ethos of the island firsthand.
This partnership is a natural fit.
Both Sharif Tailoring and Burgh Island serve a discerning clientele that values luxury and bespoke services. Several of our clients, familiar with the island’s allure, have visited based on our recommendations. In fact, one client commissioned a three-piece dinner suit for a significant wedding anniversary held on the island, highlighting the deep connection between our services and the memorable experiences Burgh Island offers.
The South Hams area, including Totnes, Kingsbridge, and Salcombe, is home to many of our regular clients who often seek our unique upcycling services as well as our bespoke tailoring services. This aligns with the sustainability efforts and refined aesthetic appreciated by guests and staff at Burgh Island.
Our continued partnership celebrates shared values of craftsmanship, exceptional service, and creating unforgettable experiences. We look forward to maintaining this wonderful relationship, ensuring that the team at Burgh Island is outfitted in style that matches their impeccable service standards.
