Relationships Rule At D&B Tailors As Custom Clothier And Organic Dry Cleaner (The Custom Clothing Results Are Outstanding, Too!)

Relationships built over time, often involving multiple generations of the same families, is what Gabriele D’Annunzio is most proud of when talking about his bespoke and couture garments shop plus dry cleaner facility.

"We really care about customers and their families, and want them to be more than satisfied. We actually hope they feel special," says master designer Gabriele. 

He says they currently have been serving one family for four generations, in addition to having many three-generation customers. "The longevity of our customers is also very special. They are wanted and important."

Gabriele personally works with each client to design every garment that bears the name D&B. As the son of a master tailor, Gabriele learned the craft while a young boy in Italy, where he and his siblings raised silkworms for the fabric industry. After moving to America, he began working professionally as a tailor at age 15, hand-assembling the armholes on suits.

Many customers believe Gabriele’s attentiveness is the backbone of D&B’s superlative personal customer service. He says he works with each client individually to achieve a perfect fit, and to help them design their one-of-a-kind suits, dresses, coats, gowns and shirts.

"If it doesn't fit, it doesn't flatter," is the D&B motto. 

From the location off Chapel Road in historic Newtown Square, the inviting outdoor garden hints at the beauty and care of the craft performed inside. They provide customized clothing for both women and men. Many men like to get custom shirts or full suits. They also perform alterations for wedding dresses and tuxedo rentals. 

During 2019, D&B Tailors was voted one of the best dry cleaners in Delaware County. Did you know D&B Tailors is green? They handle organic dry cleaning. For those who want their minks, winter coats or clothes professionally cleaned and stored until next winter, they use an organic, alcohol-based cleaner and a steamer to make sure clothing is germ-free. Those pieces can properly stored in their temperature-controlled vault. And, they offer free pickup and delivery.

To further service customers, they've added custom shoes for both genders. The D&B designers received training from shoemakers in Italy, and they use a CAD machine that scans each foot for measurements/dimensions, to achieve the best individual product. Ask them about their custom-made golf shoes, too -- it's all about comfortable fits. 

D&B Tailors offers high quality and personal bespoke shoe cleaning to keep shoes shining and durable. They use an antibacterial spray, steam, polish, finishing spray and cheesecloth to treat shoes to a ‘spa cleaning treatment.'

Their formal department has quite a variety of options for all occasions. Arcuri ties and pocket squares from Italy are available, for example.  

Additionally, given the threat of COVID-19, D&B sells washable, reusable face masks, made of three layers of 100% cotton fabrics. They come in a variety of colors for men, women and children; customization is available upon request. 

A new concept that Gabriele is working on includes waterproof fabrics for a new athletic and travel wear line. "It would be great for golf pants and jackets, or for anyone who spends time outdoors," he says. 

He adds that they may offer newly styled, high-end jeans for both males and females. 

The D&B team says they pride themselves in helping their customers stand out by looking great. Some of the D&B well-known customers, such as Villanova Basketball Head Coach Jay Wright, former Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Mike Schmidt, and former Philadelphia 76ers President Pat Croce, must agree. 

Oh, and, celebrities such as Frank Sinatra and George Burns, wore D&B suits. 

"Whatever wardrobe piece someone needs, our mission is to provide timeless style," assures Gabriele.
