Brown Paper Bag (BPB), the trusty Scouters of cool in Mumbai, pen a great article on our brand SS Homme, underlining our dream of being one of the front-runner places to shop for designer suits in Mumbai, with a wide variety of styles including modern shirts for men, and bespoke business suits for men.

Come now, we’ve introduced you to them before. Remember Sarah Sheikh and Sandeep Gonsalves? They’re the duo behind SS Homme, a bespoke label that specialises in formal men’s wear. Since then, they’ve not just dressed some sharp Mumbai men – the GM of Essar Group, a foreign service diplomat at the U S Embassy, the brand ambassador of Diageo Reserve- but have also as of last week, moved out of the house and into a new studio shop at Khar.
Suit-sayers
The 300 square feet space though small, is chic featuring white, black and grey areas. The studio is divided into two halves- the client consultation room featuring a top hat that thinks it’s a light (see picture); and a showcase area which displays some of the shirts, jackets and suits designed by them. The label makes Indian formal wear as well, including sherwanis and bandhgalas, and does customised ties and bow ties.
The clothes here are dapper, and while Sarah prefers to stick to classic styles, she chooses to have fun with secondary elements of the garment like the cuff and collar. The process of getting your garment custom-made at SS Homme takes ten days, starting with a client meeting and consultation, followed by selection of fabric and measurements. On the fifth day, you will be called in for a fitting, and by the tenth day you’ll have a shiny new suit!
