Recap Pitti Uomo 102 | Michael & Giso

Michael Oei & Rolf-Giso Heijkoop

When we started custom shirts back then, it quickly became clear how important physical contact is, both for us and for our customers. We are constantly moving by meeting people and having conversations. Conversations about the challenges and developments in entrepreneurship, about the finest wines, most beautiful places and, of course, the ever-changing fashion scene. We find that through those conversations we give meaning to every garment we make. Sincere and personal, eccentric in both style and character. Through co-creation we create your new wardrobe.

We exist to manifest your story

As Michael & Giso, we are part of your story and support you in expressing your personality. By connecting with you and knowing what you stand for, we can bring our passion to life; creating outfits that make you feel great and show who you really are. It's not just about finding the right fabric and perfect fit, but about the look that lets you make a difference. 

Our mission

"It is our mission to continuously develop a wardrobe that is a reflection of your character and lifestyle."

In every design, you are the starting point and we make the connection between who you are, what you do and what you want to express. You are constantly evolving and we see it as our mission to ensure that your wardrobe grows with you. Building a personal relationship is therefore not a possibility, but a neccesity. 

Let your wardrobe be more than functionality

We realize co-creation through the Slow Tailoring principle. A tailoring method in which we connect personal attention, traditional craftsmanship and modern innovations. Do you want garments in which you feel comfortable every day and express your identity?
