About Hide & Sleek
I have been designing and creating beautiful clothes for over 25 years. I opened my first store in The Posting, Kirkcaldy, Fife, Scotland, in 1983, where I specialized in made-to-measure outfits, developing a reputation for Leatherwear that was colourful and well made.
In 1991 I needed larger premises and my business moved to Kinghorn, Fife, where I continued to create leather clothes for customers both in the UK and overseas, with customers as far away as Hong Kong, Australia, Europe and USA.
I have developed a very diverse customer base, designing and creating outfits for Ladies, Gents, Children, Cabaret Artists, Drag Queens/TV/TS, Dancers, Body Builders, even 'Dogs' - a wee Scottish Terrier modelled a matching red outfit when its owner took part in my annual Fashion Show!
One thing my customers have in common is that they all appreciate the importance of a well fitting garment, one that suits them, in both colour and choice of fabric.
The choice of fabrics available is limitless, from silks to satins, cottons to crepes, lycras to linens. I also work with PVC, soft leathers, colourful suedes and there are some fabulous new patent leathers available now.
In January 2009, due to the need - again - for larger premises, saw the next move for Hide and Sleek Designs. You will find my new boutique light, bright, spacious with a relaxed atmosphere where you can enjoy a coffee or glass of wine while you have your consultation.
As your Couturier, I will make you look fabulous, your outfit will fit you perfectly, making you feel a million dollars!
