With impeccable style, flawless craftsmanship and absolute quality, made to order. An appointment in the Sam Kori George Atelier starts the beginning of a collaboration. Each gown, garment or wardrobe is the result of a partnership between client and designer, created with your inspiration meeting years of experience in crafting understated, elegant, timeless pieces. At your private appointment, you'll share details about the occasion and function of the garment for Sam to appropriately plan for the season, color and cut — to deliver a look worthy of the word “couture”. Clean lines. Perfect fit. Exceptional fabric.

Sam Kori George is an award winning designer and founder of his namesake brand. Born and raised in Baghdad, Iraq to a family of seven — his childhood home was a living education in fashion. Studying his mother’s effortless commitment to style in her daily life, Sam came to develop his love of clean lines, perfect fit and fine fabrics. He launched his business in 2002, opening a sprawling space that is still one of Chicago’s largest couture ateliers. With an experienced eye for quality, Sam sources fabric, leather and hardware from all over the world — from New York to Paris and beyond. His limited collections and trusted relationships allow him to work with boutique mills to procure and collaborate on the finest cloth, leather, lace and silk in the world. The product of Sam’s refined eye is a collection of elegant modern garments designed with a meticulous attention to every beautiful detail.
