HEY POLKA MOODBOARD FOR POWER SUITING

POLKA WARDROBE

Never mind that morning suits were traditionally the sartorial reserve of gentlemen, Polka has officially ruffled society feathers, becoming the first brand to dress signature outfits in custom tailoring.

It made us realize that there was a serious appetite among women for bespoke tailoring and a suit-shaped gap for them. and we are building a new legacy with what we do. More women than ever were willing to pay handsomely for a made-from-scratch suit designed for their bodies by experienced pattern cutters — just like their fathers, brothers and husbands may have done once upon a time.

We really understand the changes a woman’s body can go through, which most men don’t. If a client is undergoing fertility treatments, menopause, mastectomies, miscarriages, heavy periods or even sweating too much, we can listen to her and accommodate that with our garments. We accommodate women of all sizes and proportions, and that’s the whole point.

There is just a real elevated simplicity and versatility to the pieces that our customers love, alongside the personalized tailoring experience.

Clients often say, ‘I wish I had you as an option when I got my big promotion or had to sit next to my ex-husband at my daughter’s graduation and needed to look hot.’ They could go to many luxury brands, but they like how a Polka suit makes them feel.”

Polka has also leveraged the customer data collected since setting up shop to expand into ready-to-wear that can be worn with or separately from suits: linen skirts, silk camis, poplin shirts and linen trousers that are manufactured in Bombay.

Eventually, we want women to buy their whole wardrobe with us because the foundations of what we do are simple but powerful. It’s not about a perfect body. It’s about your body and how we can make the clothes fit you — not the other way around.
