Pants, Slacks and Trousers - Atelier Gardeur Collection

THE BLOG: So. Let's talk about pants, slacks and trousers!

PK: Well let's keep it simple and just say pants, to cover them all, but I want talk about a particular brand - Atelier Gardeur.

THE BLOG: Why Gardeur?

PK: The first thing about Gardeur is the attention to detail and quality throughout the whole collection. Gardeur doesn't use middle-men to support their clothing line, Gardeur oversees the whole operation and controls the process from start to finish. And if you were going to ask... these pants are excellent for your posterior!

THE BLOG: What do you think works best with their new collection of pants?

PK: Great Question! If you're wearing a showy top then keep your pants simple. Take a look at this silhouette for example- Atelier Gardeur shifted the side seams forward. This visually extends the leg, thereby making for a slimmer silhouette.

THE BLOG: Ooo! Are there any new design secrets?

PK: If you want me to say "butt lift", I won't. But special attention to these two secret areas create a great look for your rear.

1st. Paying special attention to the position of the back pockets.

2nd. The Rise seem in the back is key to ensuring a great shape.

You didn't hear that from us though!

THE BLOG: So, what's the latest in store?

PK: We have new fabrics that make a huge difference. Hybrid fabrics - that offer an interplay of leather details mixed with a combination of different yarns, gauges and high performance and stretch properties.

THE BLOG: Really?!

PK: Yes really! Come by and try on some Atelier Gardeur pants and you will understand. In the end, Gardeur is great to wear all day, they fit well, look incredible, and you feel great too. The best thing too is that you won't be able to find this quality for such a great price other then at Petra Karthaus! You will love Gardeur!

Pin It Down to Perfection!

You know what Antoine de Saint-Exupéry says: “Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”

We know Monsieur Saint-Exupéry wasn't talking about clothes (and certainly not that perfection is good), but we find this a perfect way to explain the importance of a good fit!

Recently, the Duchess of Cambridge was featured in a quite interesting article in The Telegraph. The Secret of the Duchess' elegantly tailored style? Alterations!

Sometimes even the most quintessential piece isn't perfect enough; everyone is built differently and not even the exquisite Duchess can wear anything off a hanger. An outfit can change from good to extraordinary with just a few pins in the right place, and this is why we pride ourselves in working with the best dressmakers in the city just so we're sure that our clients always have the most elegant and perfect fit.

Winter Never Fails to Turn into Spring

Petra Karthaus is already starting to look brighter and warmer with new collections from Aldo Martins, Bogner and Gardeur for Spring/Summer 2014!

Happy New Year!

The Secret of Gardeur

 Founded in 1920, Gardeur employs a workforce of some 2,000 and supplies approximately 3,000 customers in 50 countries around the globe. As Germany’s only fully integrated trousers atelier, Gardeur ensures absolutely assured fit, a high standard of craftsmanship and flexible collection control.

At their German headquarters, two in-house creative teams design the pants with a great sense of style, and pattern makers then translate the styles into true-to-size patterns. Seamstresses in the sample-making department always lovingly handcraft the first prototypes.

Gardeur runs its own sewing shops, laundry and quality assurance, because making trousers requires high-precision craftsmanship. All operations are certified and coordinated by Gardeur technicians in the company’s own laboratories – they don’t leave anything to chance. In brief: it is the special creativity and the high degree of skilled trade that has made Gardeur the trouser specialists they are, for over 90 years now!

Now at the end of this season we have selected Gardeur pants for only CAD$ 99!
