FAQ.

  • What does the PARLA experience entail?

    Fill out the form under the Start Designing section. A member of our team will be in touch to organize a 15-minute call to understand your needs and preferences and answer any questions you may have. From there, we will arrange your first design session to review the collection, explore fabric preferences, take your measurements, and confirm finishing details. Depending on the service you select, one or two fittings may follow. Your garments are then crafted in Italy and delivered to you within 8 to 12 weeks.

  • Where will the design session(s) take place?

    For clients in Milan or Boston, we travel to you, whether at your home, office, or hotel. PARLA also hosts trunk shows in select cities throughout the year, which are by appointment only and designed to create a private house experience outside of Milan.

  • How long is each design session or fitting?

    The initial design session is about 90 minutes. Subsequent fittings last between 30-60 minutes.

  • Do I need to be in Milan, and how many visits are required?

    You do not need to be in Milan to work with PARLA. Appointments are available in Milan, Boston, at our international trunk shows, or virtually.

  • Does PARLA offer made-to-measure and bespoke commissions?

    We only offer bespoke commissions ensuring each garment is crafted uniquely for the wearer.

  • Do I need to order a full three-piece suit?

    Not at all. While the three-piece suit is our signature, clients may order jackets, trousers, or waistcoats individually.

  • Can I select from existing collections?

    Some clients come to us with a vision, others prefer to use our existing collections as a starting point. Our design team and tailors will make recommendations at your appointment to ensure we bring your vision to life.

  • Are all pieces made to my measurements?

    Yes. Every garment is tailored precisely to your proportions.

  • How long will it take to receive my finished suit?

    Most orders are completed within 8 to 12 weeks. We will confirm your delivery timeline during our first appointment.

  • What is the starting investment?

    Pricing for bespoke commissions is provided privately during your design session, as each piece is individually conceived and crafted at the highest level of customization.

    Clients are not obligated to purchase a full three-piece suit. Individual pieces such as shirts, jackets, trousers, or waistcoats may be commissioned individually. A detailed quote will be provided once fabric and design selections are confirmed during the first design session.

  • Is a deposit required?

    Yes. Once garments and fabrics are selected and clients are ready to place an order, a non-refundable deposit is required.

  • What is your refund policy?

    All policies are outlined in the client contract, including cancellations. For clients based in Italy, our policies are in accordance with Italian consumer law.
