Introduction
I was born in Pécs in 1978. Influenced by my family of craftsmen, I developed an interest in creative activities from an early age, so it was no surprise that I eventually chose tailoring as my profession.
My mentors were master tailors Ferenc Gyurász and Imre Pálffy, from whom I learned the intricacies of the trade. They were trained by masters who worked during the Austro-Hungarian Empire, so I feel great pride and gratitude in carrying forward their professional legacy.
Theatre, Costumes, Equestrian Attire
In 1995, I became the head of the men’s costume-making workshop at the Pécs National Theatre. This position allowed me to delve into the attire of various eras and styles. I enjoyed the creative theater work, where I could unleash my imagination and experiment extensively.
However, after a few years, I decided to start my own business, feeling that this would allow me to truly fulfill my potential.
“Every day, a little better” became my motto when I opened my own tailoring shop in Pécs in 1999, in a small 36-square-meter courtyard workshop on Ferencesek Street.
Initially, most orders consisted of braided and traditional attire, including intricate hussar and other performance outfits. Over time, these were replaced by elegant, high-quality suit orders.
My ambition was to create impeccably fitted, beautifully draped suits, like those seen in James Bond films.
A significant advancement came when I started working with fabrics from the world’s leading textile manufacturers. Today, our tailoring shop boasts a unique selection of fabrics.
I continually strive to improve the technology of craftsmanship. I spent years researching the most suitable internal functional materials and the best assembly solutions for each type of fabric, significantly enhancing the aesthetics, comfort, and durability of the finished pieces.
As an innovative professional, I became interested in the possibilities of information technology, earning a technical instructor diploma from the Pollack Mihály Technical College in 2008. Gangel Tailoring was the first bespoke tailoring shop to offer our clients a 3D virtual image of their garments tailored to their body shape.
In 2019, we had the opportunity to move to a much more spacious and refined environment in Pécs. Our workshop and salon on Makay István Road now span over 200 square meters, where we conduct our work and welcome clients. I am proud of my small team. Currently, alongside three tailor colleagues, my wife Petra supports my work, handling the paperwork, fabric orders, and client relations for our growing business.
With our rapidly expanding clientele, we established a showroom in BUDAPEST in 2018. Our new salon at 9 Torockó Street in District II provides an appropriate setting to showcase our work and welcome our esteemed clients.
Thank you for the trust that has made our dreams come true!
