Our little story

Our Story

Our story is not just about tailoring — it is about passion, determination and a lifelong love for craftsmanship.

Margaret’s journey began in Poland many years ago. As a child, she discovered her passion for sewing at a time when clothing options were limited. Instead of buying clothes, she began creating her own — often designing colourful dresses from scratch. What started as necessity quickly became a true passion.

As a teenager, she attended tailoring school, where she developed her skills and trained professionally. Over the years, she gained extensive experience working in clothing factories, learning precision, technique and attention to detail.

But Margaret always wanted more than routine work — she wanted to create something of her own.

She opened her first business in Poland, and after gaining valuable experience, made the brave decision to move to London in search of new opportunities.

In 2003, she opened her first shop in Pinner, bringing her craftsmanship and dedication to the local community. The beginnings were not easy, but through hard work, honesty and consistent quality, she slowly built trust among her customers.

As the business grew, the next generation became part of the journey. In 2011, Margaret and her daughter Agnieszka opened a second shop in Ruislip Manor, continuing to develop the business and expand its presence.

In the following years, the family business continued to grow. In 2013, Agnieszka’s brother Sebastian opened a shop in Stanmore, and later, his wife Kate opened another location in Watford, just before the COVID pandemic.

Like many businesses, A&M Tailoring had to adapt during that time. Following these changes, Sebastian and Kate decided to return to Poland permanently, and the Stanmore and Watford shops were closed.

Today, A&M Tailoring continues to thrive in its strongest and longest-established locations — Ruislip Manor and Pinner.

With a team of highly experienced tailors, some with over 40 years in the trade, the business combines traditional craftsmanship with a modern approach to style, fit and customer service.

Now led by the next generation, the values remain the same:
quality, honesty and attention to detail.
