I came in with little idea of what I wanted to do, an they helped me cultivate my look based on the wedding setting and time of year, pick the fabric to make sure we were balancing style and comfort, and kept me in the loop with production, from start to finish. The suit was finished ahead of schedule, they made final adjustments, and it fit me perfectly. I felt cared for throughout the entire process. I would definitely recommend Bindle and Keep for any big events you have planned.

We did have a bit of a shipping scare just prior to our wedding which could have been avoided, but Ashley went absolutely out of her way on her day off to track down our missing package, resulting in hand delivery of my wife's suit 24 hours before we left for our wedding. Our suits turned out beautifully; everyone was commenting on the quality and just how good they looked all throughout our wedding day. Definitely scared of the postal process between Brooklyn and Los Angeles now, but can't say we wouldn't do business with Bindle & Keep again in the future.

She slimmed down and shortened the sleeves of the jacket and it cost me about $35 per sleeve. The finished product was perfect and I got a ton of compliments. I will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend! Before you go, note that cash is highly preferred!

BUT i cant say the same for the spanish guy who works along side him nor the shop owner's son. I've had two jackets and pants tailored at this place and they all fit well but was super disappointed when i full inspected the work. How do you have the audacity to make people pay upfront for work that hasnt even been done yet!? There was threading all over my jackets and pants, that wasnt bothered to be cleaned off? That's just lazy. What's even more lazier was the fact that checking the threading on the areas like my jacket collar, they didnt use the same thread color!? Nor did they bother even cutting loose ends...kinda just lazy i mean overall everything fit well but they got lazy/sloppy

I recently visited Eric at FITTED Underground in Brooklyn after purchasing a pair of Gunmetal jeans…read morethat I wanted to have hemmed, and the entire experience was fantastic. The studio is amazing, and Eric couldn't have been cooler to hang out with. You can immediately see the craftsmanship, attention to detail, and passion behind what he creates. As someone who genuinely loves quality denim, I honestly felt like a kid in a candy store. I walked in with my Gunmetal jeans and walked out with them perfectly hemmed -- plus a seriously handsome Strider MPD denim jacket that I couldn't leave behind. More than anything, I really enjoyed the experience of visiting the studio, talking denim, and meeting the person behind the work. I'm already planning another trip back to Brooklyn. Thank you so much, Eric. It was truly my pleasure meeting you, and hopefully I'll see you again soon! -- Dino dinosgarage.net Denver, Colorado

Earlier this year, I discovered Eric's workshop at Fitted Underground and ordered a custom pair of jeans. The fitting process was a pleasure. Eric is a master of his craft who took the time to discuss every nuance of fit and construction with me. The delivered pair was flawless: my wife declared them perfect, and I entirely agree. In fact, I have since given away every other pair of jeans I owned. Following that success, I ordered a custom pair of fatigue pants, and they turned out equally exceptional. I recommend Eric and Fitted Underground without reservation.

Great store... purchased some unique finds, worth the stop over for sure…read more Had my hair done by Gabriella (extensive color + color correction) and cut- she was fantastic!!! This was my first time with her, but comparing to prior hair visits at various places, I would say she has taken the crown so far. Will see how everything grows out- but as far as the following goes she is a rock star: -taking her time, never rushing (I was the only person there) -knowledgeable about the Wella hair care line -knows what looks good on you as far as your shape face for a cut and skin tones/undertones for color -no forced conversations -maybe pricey for some, but for the quality of work- you don't want to cheap out -great blow-out/styling!!!! Highly recommend her :)

This store is not closed!!!!! Indeed Alpana Bawa is open at 167 Elizabeth Street between Spring and…read moreKenmare, a storefront in the heart of Nolita. In addition to reviews from New York Magazine, Shopikon, and Refinery 29 below, something to note about Bawa is her custom tailored work, commissions and collaborations involving unusual patterns, embroidery, and op art effects. "Alpana Bawa's native South Asia is everywhere in her striking, vivid clothing. Born in Punjab and raised in Delhi, the designer has made Indian fabrics and embroidery her trademarks, constructing sophisticated, casual clothing for men and women out of intricately detailed madras, cotton, and silk. But don't expect to find a room full of saris and kurtas; there aren't any. Instead, Bawa applies traditional elements to modern looks, using old-world fabric and fine, dressmaker touches (including precision piecework that evokes 1960s-mod styles) to construct downtown-chic silhouettes. Decorated with floral embroidery, a standard men's button-down becomes an airy, cabana-worthy top, while bold polka-dot appliqués turn a simple A-line dress into a fun party frock. Despite her early days at Comme des Garcons--a stronghold of severe, dark looks--Bawa's palette is extensive, and it's not unusual for hot pink, burnt orange, and mossy green to co-exist happily on a single garment; black, however, is verboten. In addition to her playful, sexy clothes, the tiny East Village storefront also stocks a collection of accessories and lively pillows designed more for cozy conversation than nodding off, given their sheer vibrancy and radiant color." -- New York Magazine "Not afraid of bold color? Then Alpana Bawa is the store for you. Bawa opened her store in 2010, with menswear and womenswear in bold Indian fabrics. The textiles are produced in India, with Alpana heading up the task of creating exciting and vibrant dyes and patterns. The jewelry is highly covetable, with color-blocked bangles that mix resin and wood. T-shirts mix bold colors with blueprint-like designs in playful mixes that reference unusual inspirations like Space Invaders and monkey faces. Color-blocked striped dresses and embroidered shirts are in ample supply. If you're not ready to embrace the head to toe color that Bawa offers, open yourself to some fun styling possibilities. Imagine one of Bawa's bright teal dresses paired with neutrals like black skinny pants or an indigo denim jacket. It's refreshing to see how Bawa's rich Indian culture translates beautifully into these fanciful pieces." -- Shopikon For those tired of the monochrome stereotype (read: New Yorkers love black!) and current goth trends alike, it's time to give your wardrobe an injection of color. After operating for nine years in the southern bosom of Soho, designer Alpana Bawa has brought her eponymous boutique and vibrant wares back to its original East 1st Street location. Tucked behind a busy basketball court and among the cozy cafés that give the area its neighborhood charm, the space--recently redesigned by Thomas Sand--is nothing but stark white walls and sleek black floors, a strategy that allows the vividness of the clothing to speak for itself. Drawing from her frequent travels to India (where all Alpana Bawa production takes place) and from found objects, Bawa constructs everything from mod shift dresses in electric teals and violets to elaborately embroidered shirts summoned by the Gods of Graffiti. Some of the standout winter pieces that easily transition to spring include blazing orange motorcycle vests, marigold cotton blouses, and light coats in plum and poppy. For men, there are timeless multi-striped wool scarves in combinations such as brick red, ivy green, and slate gray, shirts of varying jewel hues, and a flurry of paisley ties. Whatever you choose, at Alpana Bawa there's always gold at the end of the rainbow. East Village mainstay Alpana Bawa draws inspiration from the streets of Manhattan all the way to her native India, bringing bold brights and whimsical prints to easy-going Technicolor-dream pieces. -- Refinery 29

I don't mean to imply all the clothes are "classic," but many of them are enough so to please a middle-of-the road dresser like myself. Today I got the chance to meet the lovely owner-designer while shopping there. Her work is truly original yet wearable. I only buy something in there in a rare while, and then only on sale - it ain't cheap. But I wanted to give this place a shout-out as a wonderful local original, and source of probably the only genuine designer clothes in my wardrobe. The clothes are made in India, and designed here, and it's those Indian dyes and fabrics that lend them their sparkle.
