RAGS
Rags: A Yiddish term used in the garment
industry. So when we say "our rags" it's a good thing.

had "Couture" designed Covers for the Backs of Wheelchairs.
Not only are we the first but we are committed to high
quality. We also pride ourselves in fitting our Couture
clothing line for a "sitting" client and will do everything to
make sure your garment fits you perfectly. No more bunching up
of materials in your lap, sagging shoulders, tight upper arms,
uncomfortably placed labels and zippers. We are constantly
refining our designs. Rest assured, we want you to look
glamorous in our rags |
"Haute Couture"
From the early 19th Century "Haute Couture" meant creating
garments by hand, with care and precision. A workroom team, lead by the
Designer/Couturier can take as many as 90 hours on one garment.
Paris is still the primary domain of Haute Couture. In
Paris, "Haute Couture," is strictly controlled by the Chambre syndical de la
couture parissienne, the governing body of French Fashion Houses. The term is
exclusive to the group's 9 members, plus 7 invites.
Couture Sewing Techniques by Claire B. Shaeffer
Haute couture (French
for "high sewing" or "high dressmaking";
Haute
Couture refers to the creation of exclusive custom-fitted fashions. It
originally referred to French fashion and in France, is a "protected name"
that can be used only by firms that meet certain well-defined standards.
However, the term is also used loosely to comprise all high-fashion
custom-fitted clothing, whether it is produced in
Paris or in
other fashion capitals such as
New York,
London, and
Milan.
Haute couture is made to order for a specific customer, and it is usually
made from high-quality, expensive fabric and sewn with extreme attention to
detail and finish, often using time-consuming, hand-executed techniques.
