Embrace Tradition and Style at Ascend Collection

329 West Main Street Durham, North Carolina 27701

My dream was always to create a space where I could share my passion and love for menswear. I envisioned a storefront that embodied the essence of a tailor's shop from the early 1900s, a place where craftsmanship meets elegance. The warm, inviting atmosphere would feature rich wood finishes, leather chairs, and the subtle scent of fabric.

Every detail would evoke nostalgia. The goal was to make every client feel as though they had stepped back in time, into a world where their individual style could be brought to life through skilled hands and personalized service.

In this haven, each visit would go beyond mere shopping; it would be an experience. Clients would engage in thoughtful conversations about fit, fabric, and fashion, all while enjoying a complimentary cup of coffee or tea. Every piece of menswear—whether a perfectly tailored suit or a casual shirt—would be crafted with care, ensuring that every customer feels confident and proud of what they wear.

Ultimately, I wanted to cultivate a community of style—a modern-day tailoring shop that honors tradition while embracing the needs of contemporary living. This is where my love for menswear and my vision for Ascend Collection converged, providing a platform for others to discover their own unique personal style.
