Onion Cut & Sewn is the made-to-order clothing label of designer Whitney Mero, working out of a studio in East Harlem. Pieces are cut and sewn to order rather than mass produced, which is why the line reads as vivid and personal: bright colorblocking, bold stripes, striking prints and silhouettes built to flatter real bodies.
Customers order online or through trunk shows and pop-ups, and the made-to-order model means fit and fabric can often be discussed directly with the designer — a rarity at this price point. Because everything is produced individually, lead times apply and sizes are not sitting on a shelf; the trade-off is a garment nobody else will be wearing.
There is no retail storefront, and the website's contact form is the way in. For custom-made clothing from a Black woman-owned Harlem studio, Onion Cut & Sewn is a genuine find.
