About Mensan

A tailor and fashion designer from France, at home in Ottawa.

Photo to come: portrait of Mensan

A designer’s eye on everyday work. Taking in a jacket is a question of proportion as much as measurement.

Designer and tailor

Mensan works as a designer as well as a tailor, and the two feed each other. Once a garment fits, he looks at how it hangs on you.

Clothes made from scratch

Besides alterations, he designs and sews clothing to order: suits, dresses and gowns made from your measurements.

Help with your style

He also offers personal style consultations, for people who want help working out what suits them and building a wardrobe around their personality.

French or English

French is Mensan’s first language, and he is happy to work in English. Come in and speak whichever you prefer.

Bring it in, or call first
