Bespoke tailoring and meticulous alterations in the heart of Adelaide, SA.
Founded over 15 years ago by master tailor Eleanor Vance, Thread & Needle Co. began in a modest studio in North Adelaide. Eleanor's philosophy was simple: garments should respect the wearer's form and stand the test of time.
Today, we serve the discerning residents of Adelaide—from meticulous bridal alterations to crafting custom-tailored suits for the corporate elite of King William Street. We blend traditional hand-sewing techniques with contemporary aesthetics to deliver a truly personalized sartorial experience.
