Measurements & Pre-orders
Made to Measure & Pre-orders
We believe some garments deserve more than a standard size. Through pre-orders, made-to-order production and made-to-measure services, we can create pieces designed for the person who will wear them, whether a child or an adult.
Clothes designed for the people who will wear them
At Maison Priam & Lila, we take a long-term approach.
Rather than producing large quantities of clothing and holding them in stock, we are gradually developing an approach based on pre-orders, made-to-order production and made-to-measure tailoring.
This allows us to give each piece more attention, offer greater scope for personalisation and limit unnecessary production.
We do not make clothes for sizes. We make clothes for people.
Three levels of personalisation
Pre-order
Reserve a piece before it is made. Once the required order threshold has been reached, production begins.
Made to order
Your garment is made especially for you once your order has been confirmed, with a choice of personalisation options.
Made to measure
Your measurements are used directly to adapt the garment pattern to your individual proportions.
Designs for children… and soon for adults
Maison Priam & Lila began with children’s clothing.
However, several of our designs have long attracted interest from adults: shooting waistcoats, double-breasted jackets, car coats, capes inspired by the 1920s and selected pieces from the Maison’s archives.
Our aim is to make these creations gradually available through pre-orders, limited editions and made-to-measure commissions.
Choosing your fabric
Every project begins with the selection of materials.
We work with fabrics selected from Shanghai’s textile markets as well as cloth from renowned tailoring houses.
Depending on the project, a piece may be made in wool, cotton, velvet, silk or fabrics from houses such as Zegna.

Our vision
Made to measure is not simply a question of luxury.
It is a different way of thinking about clothing: choosing the fabric, understanding the person who will wear it, and making less, but better.
Clothes worth waiting for. Clothes worth keeping. Clothes with a story to tell before they are even worn.Request an appointment
