Terms
Marcus's commissions typically fall between $320 and $12,000 (quoted and paid in sterling, £240 – £9,000), with a lead time of around 5 weeks. A deposit secures the slot and fabric; the balance is released in stages you approve as the garment takes shape. Every piece is quoted on its own brief — there is no tariff.
Verified, and what that means
Everrissa met Marcus in person, checked identity and business standing, and reviewed past work before this atelier was listed. Every commission runs through Everrissa's staged payments.
Reviews are earned, not imported.
Only a client whose commission with Marcus has been completed through Everrissa can leave one here. The first will appear when the first piece is delivered.
