Private Wardrobe Office
Founded by Lucretia Sandu
Throughout my career, I have seen exceptional wardrobe collections lose their integrity through the absence of professional management. As collections grow, they often become fragmented, undocumented and increasingly difficult to maintain. Pieces are forgotten, provenance is lost, and the collection gradually becomes a burden rather than an asset.
A wardrobe built on a proper foundation is fundamentally different. When every piece is catalogued, documented and professionally maintained, the collection becomes organised, accessible and sustainable. It can support informed decision-making, insurance and valuation requirements, estate planning, and ultimately be preserved as a collection that can be passed from one generation to the next.
This is the role of Private Wardrobe Office. To establish the structure, systems and long-term stewardship that allow exceptional wardrobe collections to be managed with the same discipline as any other significant private collection.

Professional Background
Trained in architecture and fashion, with experience at MAISON GOYARD, MATCHESFASHION, and DOVER STREET MARKET, the work is now focused on private clients and wardrobe systems within the household.
With a foundation in mathematical discipline, particularly algebra and geometry, the approach is shaped by structured problem-solving and spatial reasoning. This analytical framework later aligned with architectural thinking, influenced by Tadao Ando, reinforcing a method based on order, proportion, and clarity.
A wardrobe is treated as a system designed to resolve complexity — where organisation, sequence, and function work together to solve practical problems rather than serve aesthetic intention alone.
