About Altera

Unleash your creativity

A revolutionary fashion brand that empowers individuals to embrace their uniqueness through the art of bespoke dressing.

Founder

Founded to enable your expressivity

"Our mission is to bring bespoke fashion to everyone. We are here to break away from the cookie-cutter approach of fast fashion and offer individuals a canvas to express themselves which is more affordable than a tailoring service. Altera is not just a brand; it's a movement that embraces diversity, encourages creativity, and empowers each individual to be their authentic selves. I’m over the moon to introduce our launch collection and excited about where our range will expand to in the near future"
