About Pursuit Femmes

3rd & 4th generation tailoring

suiting our women around the world

Our Mission & Vision

Pursuit Femmes is a sustainable fashion brand that was born out from a need for women’s suits and blazers. We strongly believe in the power and empowerment of women, and hope to inspire globally with our clothing.

We create unique pieces, designed by you. We do this during an appointment, in which we listen to what you are looking for and together we choose which fabric or cut suits you best. After several weeks, you will be able to wear your very own unique creation, which you can then combine in many different ways.

At the same time, Pursuit Femmes also has an experimental side, offering Jill Antwerp’s wind instruments. Jill came up with an original way to breathe new life into the wind instruments using produced male samples.
