Inside A Trunk Show Experience

Photography by Joe Dammel

At MartinPatrick 3, we believe shopping is best experienced with a cocktail in hand and the latest styles at your fingertips. Through deep relationships with some of the world’s top designers, we are lucky to welcome dozens of luxury brands to our store every year to preview their collections and give our clients the first chance to shape their wardrobe with these made-to-order pieces.

To share more about MartinPatrick 3’s trunk shows and made-to-measure services, we caught up with sales expert and go-to guy for all things made-to-measure, Robert Elder.

From colors to fabr ics to exact measurements, you can build your wardrobe with investment pieces that are truly meant for you.”

Not only do trunk shows help customers build a relationship with the designer, but it helps the MP3 team get to know their client’s preferences.

It’s far more enjoyable to try these pieces in a 1:1 setting with the client from the comfort of our own space. It’s then made exactly for their body and delivered to their door.”

So, why shop at a trunk show instead of on your own? There’s more to discover than you’d expect.

“One of the reasons I always recommend visiting a trunk show is because not only are you previewing a designer’s collection before it’s available to the public, but many
