Atelier Rahman
Atelier Rahman is a small independent bespoke tailoring house based in Leeds specialising in designing and tailoring groomswear, fusing contemporary with traditional styles. As well as traditional lounge and morning suits, we’re well known for our themed wedding groomswear creations – anything from Prince Charming to Game of Thrones, we have covered them all.
Most of our designs are gender-neutral serving both brides and grooms and have appeared on many catwalks throughout the UK with the National Wedding Show and featured in wedding magazines including Confetti, TietheKnot, Rock n Roll Bride, Belle Bridal Magazine as well as numerous blogs sites. Fabric choices include traditional wool and silk as well as vegan-friendly options.
Wherever possible we try to keep it local, sourcing cloth from local manufacturers, haberdashery items and of course local skills – essentially very much a proud Yorkshire brand.

- What are your aspirations and plans for the future?: Intending to widen reach through more engagement with B2B and continuing developments with B2C core market. Very keen to develop online portal to offer semi-bespoke and off-the-peg products. With the former the intention is to enable both independent boutiques and individual clients to design their own product using 3D skeleton models to customise their chosen garment(s). With the off-the-peg, it’s about designing a small collection of pieces that have potential for manufacturing locally for defined markets.
- What types of projects are you interested in working on through Future Fashion Factory?: Improved manufacturing processes; developing digital capability and innovation to improve access to design; collaborating with local manufacturers of garments and cloth; outsourcing; developing processes to open prospects for export; sustainability and circular economy.
