BEHIND ROOM 502
IT ALL BEGAN AT THE CHELSEA HOTEL...
BEHIND ROOM 502
When Steve & Sophie met in Paris, a very strong platonic friendship ensued. For the following year, they would meet up almost everyday for lunch to discuss Life, Family, Fashion, Music, Philosophy, Religion or whatever they fancied. Steve later moved to NY, in an apartment at the Chelsea Hotel. A few months after Sophie came to visit. They never separated ; for the next 2 years ROOM 502 was the backdrop to their romance and bohemian adventures. As per Steve's Father once said; "You have something special; It is very rare to see two people as connected as you both are" - the rest is history
Old school technique – modern approach
Our approach is simple; Limited edition dresses at discreet prices keeping with the ‘savoir-faire’ of a well- designed and crafted silhouette. Created by Sophie Theallet in response to the messages of empowerment received from her private clients. With a direct-to-consumer approach that is truly engaged and that counters passive consumption.
Limited production – start small think big
ROOM 502 guarantees the use of ethically sourced materials, production and labor. It is also about fulfilling a woman’s option of wearing a well-made couture-quality dress at an accessible price point. These are versatile garments that can be worn everyday, which is what luxurious dressing should be..
IMPECCABLE QUALITY, RESPONSIBLY PRODUCED AND RESPECTFUL OF HUMANITY AND THE ENVIRONMENT.
Overproduction and excessive consumption has inundated the world with goods and intolerable practices, effecting unfair wages and environmental pollution. That said, we all need to work, create, make a living. Bearing this in mind, we simply want to make an amazing product, in the most ethical way possible.
