A prestige London blazer maker is launching a three-day pop-up shop in the heart of Chelsea.

JKTS makes blazers from natural designer fabric left over from some of Europe's finest mills, often in runs too small for the big fashion houses.

Each piece is cut and made to order in London, in one of four classic cuts and three fits: Petite, Regular and Long.

Now, customers will be able to get a closer look at the blazers in person thanks to a new pop-up shop in Chelsea.

Interest in the brand has grown quickly since Harriet Walker of The Times featured JKTS in her article "Here's how to get a Savile Row blazer at a fraction of the cost".

Visitors will be able to see the full collection in the new winter fabrics and new cuts, alongside a small selection of accessories.

They can try on the different cuts and fits, and talk through the options with the founders on site.

Because every blazer is made to order, customers can be measured, choose their fabric and place an order on the day.

The event is open to all, and visitors can drop in at any time.

JKTS was founded by Joanna Sheppard, who has 20 years' experience in fashion, and co-founder Leesa Kuen, whose background is in fintech. The business is built on a simple belief: that fashion should make less, and make it better.

Joanna Sheppard, co-founder of JKTS London, said:

"When you find the right blazer, you don't just wear it, you rely on it. It should give you confidence on the days you need it most. A lot of women struggle to find that - I know I did.

"The pop-up lets us meet our customers face to face and help each of them find the right cut and fit."

The pop-up takes place in the former Rococo chocolate shop, opposite the Bluebird café. 321 King's Road, London SW3 5EP.

It runs from Thursday 12th to Saturday 14th November, 10am to 6pm each day
