MADE-TO-ORDER & HAUTE COUTURE 

With its trademark white, blue and black colours Sun Sun epitomises the modern-day aesthetic. But what sets the St Gallen-based label apart from visually similar peers is that each piece is made upon purchase. The made-to-order brand positions itself as a slower, higher-quality alternative to mass retail and off-the-rack designer clothes.

In the past decade, as prices for ready-to-wear have gone up and quality has arguably gone down, haute couture and bespoke tailoring have witnessed a renaissance. Although it is not the most scalable of business models, it is a sustainable one.

 

NETHERLANDS 🇳🇱   

Let me tell you about an incredible fashion designer who pours her heart and soul into every garment she creates. Her name is Sun Sun and her passion for fashion is truly inspiring. Sun Sun doesn't just design clothes; she creates wearable works of art that tell a story. She understands that fashion is more than just material, it's a way of expressing oneself and conveying a message. That's why Sun Sun takes the time to immerse herself in the brand's story and values, carefully crafting each piece to reflect its essence. Her fabric choices are equally important to her. Sun Sun believes that every fabric has a unique story to tell and a character of its own. She sources the highest quality materials and pays attention to every detail, ensuring that the fabric she chooses perfectly embodies the brand's message. Sun Sun’ passion for fashion is evident in every pattern and stitch of every garment she creates. Her precious creations are more than just clothes, they are an expression of her love for fashion and her dedication to telling a story through every thread. L. Smeets

Ich bin selbstständige Architektin und Mutter von zwei Kindern und habe nicht viel Zeit für Mode. Darum habe ich mir elegante Alltagskleidung gewünscht, die ich im Office, auf Reisen, in der Stadt oder auch Zuhause tragen kann. Mir ist die Flexiblität, die Kombinierbarkeit sowie die Zeitlosigkeit ein grosses Anliegen. Strelitziasunsun hat mir ein überzeugendes Konzept präsentiert. Es besteht aus vier Kleidungteilen, die sich alle je nach Anlass oder Wetter kombinieren lassen. Die Einzelteile wurden gleich nach Fertigstellung und Anprobe nochmals perfektioniert und optimal auf meine Bedürfnisse abgestimmt. Ich bin überaus überzeugt von der schnellen und unkomplizierten Umsetzung mit hohem Anspruch an Design und Kundenzufriedenheit. Nun habe ich ein weiteres Set in einer anderen Farbe in Auftrag geben. Denn dies spart mir sehr viel Denkarbeit und sichert mir eine schlichte und jederzeit passende Gesamterscheinung. Die raffinierten Details und die hochwertigen Textilien machen mir jeden Tag grosse Freude.  Regula Geisser, Architektin FH/Geschäftsleitung

That’s why I wanted elegant everyday clothing that I can wear in the office, while traveling, in the city, or at home. Flexibility, versatility, and timelessness are very important to me. Strelitziasunsun presented me with a convincing concept. It consists of four clothing pieces that can all be combined depending on the occasion or weather. Each piece was perfected again and optimally tailored to my needs right after completion and fitting. I am highly impressed by the quick and straightforward execution, with a high standard of design and customer satisfaction. I have now ordered another set in a different color because it saves me a lot of thinking and ensures a simple yet always appropriate overall appearance. The refined details and high-quality textiles bring me great joy every day. Regula Geisser, Architect FH/Managing Director

When we produced the mask as a giveaway, we found Sun Sun very helpful, from choosing the right design to finding the right material and producing the correct labeling. She offers the whole service! It was great to have someone who has extensive knowledge of the process and has guided us every step of the way.
