Tailoring & repairs with care
My name is Annemette Albrectsen, and I have worked with clothing, craftsmanship and communication for most of my life. I trained at the Copenhagen Tailors’ Academy and, over the decades, have built up solid experience in pattern-making, sewing and design – both as a teacher, a tailor and an entrepreneur.
I have always had a passion for fine craftsmanship and for creating things with my hands. Through my work in couture, theatre, film and TV costume design, as well as teaching at various design schools, I have gained a deep understanding of materials, fit and aesthetics.
As an entrepreneur, I have set up and run a number of creative businesses – ranging from a design firm and gallery to a cultural café and exhibition venues – with the aim of creating spaces for quality, creativity and human interaction.
These days, I specialise in tailoring, repairs and alterations for high-quality garments. For me, it’s not just about repairing clothes, but about preserving the craftsmanship, the fit and the history that every single garment carries with it. For me, this work isn’t just a profession, but a lifelong passion.

Repair
I offer a professional tailoring service specialising in the repair, alteration and maintenance of high-quality garments. I work with great respect for materials and details, whether it’s taking up trousers, altering a jacket, replacing zips or carrying out more advanced repairs. My aim is always to ensure the result looks as original and polished as possible – often with no visible signs of repair.
I am thorough, patient and passionate about my craft, and I prioritise a personalised service where you, as a customer, feel listened to and at ease throughout the entire process. I take the time to understand your needs and am happy to advise on the best solutions, so that your clothes are given a new lease of life and can be worn for many years to come.
I believe in sustainability through quality and repair rather than replacement. When you choose my tailoring service, you’re choosing a dedicated professional who values fine craftsmanship and helps you look after the clothes you cherish.
