The Process

From the moment a client entrusts you with their item to the moment you return it, every step is documented, visible, and theirs to keep.

01

Client Intake

Whether it's a wedding gown, a family heirloom, vintage couture or a cherished costume, the process starts when a client entrusts you with their item. Talk through what they need, assess the condition, and set expectations.

02

Assessment and Planning

Document the item's current condition with detailed photography and notes. Agree on a care plan, timeline, and service agreement with your client before any work begins.

03

Work with Full Transparency

As you work, every step is documented with photography and notes. Your client has visibility into what's happening with their item at every stage, not just a receipt at the end.

04

Client Review and Approval

Before delivery, your client reviews the completed work against the original plan. If something doesn't meet expectations, it goes back for revision. Their approval is what moves the process forward.

05

Delivery with a Complete Record

Your client receives their item along with a professionally produced keepsake document that captures its complete journey through narrative and photography. This record travels with the piece, preserving its history for future owners and generations.
