I’ve ordered four face masks & I’m delighted with them. Top quality, very well made & the seamstress was happy to carry out my request to make them with a bespoke black lining rather than the standard white (perfect for someone who wears quite heavy makeup) Excellent service : )

I bought a couple of masks from La Sartoria, unfortunately one was a little smaller than advertised. Anne and the team quickly rectified this, sending a replacement through the post in a couple of days. Fantastic customer service and great quality items!

Had a ££££ Suit Jacket elbow repaired. You'd never know where the repair was made; and they patched it. 2 weeks was a quick turn around and very reasonably priced too! Can highly recommend. We know we'll reuse and refer them.

I had a very good experience at La Sartoria. The zip broke on my favourite coat, but La Sartoria were able to fit a new one at a reasonable price and the finished job was excellent. Customer service also scores highly. Very polite and friendly.

Paul Hughes

17:15 12 Dec 19

Excellent with small things like buttons falling off you can just drop in and they do it there and then. Friendly, effective and at a good price. Highly recommended

I have visited La Sartoria for several jobs now. The work has always been finished promptly and to a very high standard. The store is modern and welcoming and the staff are polite and appear confident and knowledgable. On two occasions I had jacket sleeves shortened. One of the jackets had red detail stitching around the button holes on the sleeves and this was replicated after the shortening despite my never having noticed or asked for it—great attention to detail. On another occasion I had a fairly non-standard repair done to a duffle coat and this again posed no problem for La Sartoria. We have also had several pairs of jeans repaired and the work was done quickly and cost effectively. Overall, I'd gladly recommend this business for your tailoring needs.

Took my 2 boys to have their haircut, they were great with the kids! Really pleased with the haircut and reasonably priced too

Bianka Vaughan

Had some jeans altered, great quality job and great customer service! Will 100% be taking anything I need altering here! Highly recommend.

Tom Hazeldine

21:01 25 May 19

I took a poorly fitting 2 piece suit in to La Satoria and in the space of 10 days they transformed it into what is essentially a tailored suit. It cost £100 but given they changed pretty much everything about the trousers and jacket - waist, upper leg, lower leg, length of arms, upper back, sides (I'm a wierd shape..) it felt like a fair price. Compared to a tailored suit at £500+ it felt like a bargain. Their communication was great too - I got a text as promised when it was ready.

THEODORA ADU

15:31 08 Apr 19

Good job but quite pricey

Franz Widdowson

21:44 23 Feb 19

First class work, had an expensive suit jacket shortened at the arms, they did a first class job, would highly recommend this Taylor

I have had nothing but a pleasant, professional and very satisfying experience here. As a cosplayer, I need alterations done on my costumes, and they do the job perfectly, prices may be subjective, but I am pleased with the job they do and would easily recommend them over their local competitors. I have been a regular here for over two years, and I am happily part of their clientele.

Faraz Rahman

16:54 12 Jan 19

Very good work. Been here twice now and will go back again. Friendly staff who do good work

Mark Davies

21:12 28 Nov 18

Very neat work, fairly priced. They're very clear about what they will do and how, so you know what to expect. I've been back a few times for various alterations.

Lou Sartorel

15:39 13 Nov 18

I was provided with good service from pleasant, knowledgable staff and at a reasonable price for the work done.

Ben Long

12:04 15 Oct 18

Extremely attentive staff - they really listened to my requirements and made relevant suggestions of what is realistic and what wasn't. I am very particularly about my clothing, but the staff were very patient and understanding of exactly what I was after. They also produced a very quick turnaround time for my suit that I wanted altered and the stitching was faultless. I will definitely be returning in the future. They are miles ahead of the other local Tailors "Stitch in Time"! Highly recommend. Thanks again for the help!

Joyce Dundas

09:43 29 Aug 18

La Sartoria was a lovely experience from beginning to end. My dress had too many flowers all over. The geniuses at La Sartoria took some off and made it look like a cascade from the top. A little nip at the bottom hem made me confident I wouldn't trip over it either. I recommend their services highly and will certainly be back.

Stu Lacey

10:32 26 Aug 18

I took 2 shirts and 2 T-shirts in for alteration, only expecting the one I needed for the next day to be ready. Returned the following day, and they'd all been altered beautifully. Excellent, friendly service! Highly recommended

Laith Refaei

12:19 08 Aug 18

Great customer service from Anna at the front desk and impeccable work from those in the back room. I handed over two fairly expensive pairs of jeans to be tailored to me, they did a great job! Will definitely be returning for other items (A LOT BETTER THAN LOCAL COMPETITORS). Thanks

Abi Sims

19:24 23 Jul 18

the women are absolutely lovely in here, i was on my own and they were more than happy to help me get into my dress and even suggested a great alteration to pin up the train! will recommend to anyone.

Nicky Stepney

22:16 17 Jul 18

This is the third time I have used La Sartoria to have alterations made to several outfits. Always impressed with their professionalism, courteous manner and most importantly the quality of their work which I can't fault. Their prices are very reasonable and they bend over backwards to help. I wholly recommend them to anyone looking for excellent tailors. N Stepney

These ladies are not great tailors, they are saints and perform miracles. Just picked up a suit that was too big and looked like a potato sack on me when i took it there. It now fits like a glove. Absolutely perfect. The service was excellent and the result, amazing. 5 stars because google does not allow to give 10.

Sophie Payne

09:36 12 Jun 18

Did an amazing job with my husband's suit - knowledgable about what we should do with it, and the outcome was fantastic - boxy cheap suit to a very nicely slim fitted suit for a shorter man that looked much more expensive!

Martin B.

08:08 12 May 18

Super helpful staff who clearly try to fix anything in the most affordable way possible. A fantastic place that I highly recommend.

Bea Ridge

12:42 04 May 18

Dress doesn’t even look like it’s been altered! Such a professional finish to alterations. 100% recommend.

Shayla Hunt

16:53 02 May 18

Just picked up my wedding dress, extremely pleased with the alterations! Staff were so helpful and efficient, they even lent me pair of shoes to try on with my dress as I'd forgotten mine. I will definitely be recommending La Sartoria to family and friends. Excellent service!

Hewie Bennett

13:04 02 May 18

Brilliant tailoring, me and my girlfriend could not of been happier, perfection at its finest, will be using again regularly

James Lacey

10:02 21 Apr 18

Took my favourite coat in as looking a little sad. They moved the buttons across (tricky as asymmetric design) and it looks good as new. Very happy ???

Veera L

12:32 06 Apr 18

La Sartoria is my go-to tailor for anything and everything. I've used them mostly for sleeve shortening, taking in waists, hemming jeans and dresses etc. but would gladly use them for more complicated alterations as well. The staff are highly professional and skilled, the shop interior is pleasant and tidy, and I always feel welcome when I visit. If I could give 6 stars, I would.

U Q

18:04 20 Mar 18

Bought a couple of Armani suits but I couldn't wait for them to make the alternation for me so I looked up everywhere and found La Sartoria. It's far from my house but I wanted to have the best tailor to do my suit and the reviews really gave me confidence. Anyway I dropped them off on Saturday morning and they were finished within 4 hours. Their work was perfect and no extra charge for same day alternation. And they told me they were actually the tailor hired by Armani in Bicester! :) I'm extremely pleased with their service and I will be returning for business. Thank you La Sartoria.

Robert Donald

15:56 14 Feb 18

Absolutely blown away by service, dropped in to ask about trousers that needed seem repaired the lady said it was very simple and would only take a minute and it did now even a charge, An attitude to customer service was a real credit Highly recommended. 5 star service thank you

Will Jones

22:04 18 Jan 18

These guys are brilliant. I received amazing personal service and the quality of work was second to none.

Sam M

19:38 03 Nov 17

Im in disbelief. I had completely ruined the fastening area and waistband of a vintage skirt I had bought. Somehow they have managed to fit me a new waistband in a material that completely blends in with the multicoloured tartan of my skirt. I'm not even asking any more. I'll put it down to magic. They are amazing and I will use them again.

Andrea Reid

11:48 26 Oct 17

Great Service and work! As soon as I walked into La Sartoria I felt welcomed and at ease. I took a few garments to be altered. Everything was done neatly and fitted perfectly thereafter. I was able to try my garments on and discussed the lengths etc before any alterations were done. Thank you, will be back again!

Anneken Priesack

11:56 18 Oct 17

I brought a skirt to them every other tailor said was impossible to shorten because of the cut. They took it and made an absolutely perfect job of it. It looks exactly like the original - but it's the perfect length now. It wasn't cheap but worth every penny. Staff are very nice and friendly - I can recommend them without hesitation!

Firas Naji

19:53 09 Oct 17

I highly recommend this tailor shop. The service is first class and the work is highly professional. I had to shorten the sleeves of four jackets and a few trousers and the finished work really impressed me. It was faultless. I will return to alter more garments. Superb service and excellent value.

Gemma Zuill

19:19 06 Sep 17

Thank you for making my wedding dress perfect! I was really impressed by your efficient and professional service - I would recommend to all future brides!

simon ward

10:16 14 Aug 17

the shop itself is very well presented and provided a great service with a relaxed friendly atmosphere, they made me feel confident that I had chosen the right tailors, were genuinely interested in the fit I wanted achieved and knew exactly what they were doing and how to achieve it. I had three suits and two shirts completely tailored along with three bridesmaid dresses altered. the results were exactly as I expected and the seamstress that carried out the work clearly took pride in her work as she came out to see the finished items on and check all parties were happy. I cannot recommend this place enough and will definitely return in the future if I require anymore alterations.

Rachel H

15:33 20 Jun 17

V good standard of work. Took 1 week to get back 2 adjusted pairs of trousers.

Martin Ward

11:56 22 May 17

I had a brand new leather waistcoat with some patches to be sewn on to it; some square, some round, one that is all corners and arcs. They did a superb job stitching the patches on and posted it back to me when done. I am very happy with the result and the care taken with the stitching is superb. Can't recommend them enough to you.

Nik Harding

20:01 26 Apr 17

Excellent service, had a suit jacket altered. Would definitely recommend and use again

Soraya Salhi

13:03 10 Apr 17

MOST AMAZING SERVICE!!! I went to have my very big wedding dress fitted and shortened. I went by myself and felt intimated a little at first. The ladies there made me feel comfortable and helped me, advised me on how best to wear my dress and helped me to choose the accessories.... I literally could not have hoped for a better tailor! They went above and beyond what I asked and did not mind staying late with me in the shop (even after they had closed) to make sure I was 100% happy with my dress! I WILL DEFINITELY COME BACK and I will send all my fiends there! Thank you ladies, you made me fall in love with my wedding dress all over again! :-)

I received an amazing and great quality Zadig & Voltaire coat for Christmas but unfortunately it was HUGE! They didnt have my size when trying to return it so i decided to find a tailor. I was recommended La Sartoria! They did a better job than I ever expected, absolutely incredible. It was a long job and they did it with precision and care. Thank you La Sartoria team :)

I visited La Sartoria last Saturday and was pleased to find a lovely, elegant, immaculate shop where the client is kindly welcomed. Ilenia has created a couple of lovely cushion covers for my child's bedroom which fit well and look great - she chose the fabric, too, showing excellent taste. Will be back soon, thank you.

I have ordered a body suit for New Year's Eve, which arrived a day or two before the day. It was an odd fit , and the chest area was more or less hanging off of me. By this point I had no time to find and order something else and I really liked this top so I thought I'd get it tailored. My local tailor, however, had no capacity to complete the garment sooner than a week and I got similar responses from all other tailors around the area. Luckily I have come across La sartoria in Reading (25 min drive away )and the positive reviews I've seen really spoke for themselves. I've reached out to the company on messenger on Facebook and got amazingly quick responses. They have kindly offered their help and mentioned they can fix my bodysuit disaster in a few hours. I can honestly say this is the best service I have ever received (and I've dealt with a LOT of tailors before ) they've sorted out my garment in 2 hours , done a quick and AMAZING job, were very friendly and warm and honestly the best company I've ever dealt with! Not to sound cheesy but I feel my NYE has been saved! Thank you guys so much , I Honestly cannot recommend La Sartoria enough! :) I will be returning soon , after my January wardrobe clear out ;)

This is the second or third time I have been here and these ladies are great! I took in a black cap and a pink letter "T" transfer that I wanted attaching, they said straight away yes we can do that and said they would sew it on. I went back a few hours later(I work round the corner :-) ) and it was all done and looks great They are really friendly and are expert at what they do and I love the shop as it is spotless and quirky too If you need anything sewing dresses, skirts, trousers etc go here!

Richard Radford

11:57 21 Aug 16

Great service! Made sizing alterations on three jackets of mine, including creating a completely different collar on a casual jacket which I had never worn as I didn't like the collar style, but now I love it! Very reasonable for the quality of work done and friendly advice and fitting service. Don't know of anyone else in this area doing the same - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend!

Colette Russell

How can I describe it... Really expensive, but you might imagine that the price comes with quality... Wrong! They simple ruined my suit, and worst all the work they done is falling apart. If you want to waste your money and clothes, that's the place for you, if not find a better place.

They did the exact opposite of what I clearly instructed them to do. Six months of hand stitching down the toilet because one of their seamstresses “didn’t understand” and the lady that accepted the job (and my money) was on holiday. Wonderful excuses, horrible service and an awful botched job.

Found this lady page of Facebook, ashamed there not a No star rating. Charging a absolute disgusting price of £18-£20 per Cotton face mask!! Then delete my comment and blocks me as I ask the question if she paid her Copyright fee using license fabric and selling it as her own product, Please do not fall for these greedy people who clearly taken advantage of this pandemic situation, She claims to believe "Let's get thought this together!" Whiles she rolling into the bank!! Shameful action, untrustworthy business. She may be a excellent tailor, clearly has all the skill needed to help, so why cant she use her skills to help the NHS, Key worker, High risk, GP...people that cant afford £20 for protection.
