About Us

Relaunched in 2021, Haus of Dittmer aims to bring elements from historical dress into a modern, wearable wardrobe. We are not in the business of making costumes, our products are designed to be worn to the office, the grocery store, a dinner party, your pick. Amongst our products you'll find reproductions and reinterpretations. History and history bounding. Where history meets modernity.

 

FAQs

Why does it take so long to ship?

We are a small team creating all of our products by hand. We don't have a factory, we have a dining room table and a desk or two. We also are not currently at a size where we keep stock on hand, so everything is made to order save a rare exception. We also don't keep fabric around very long, and this all increases lead times. We apologize for any and all delays, we hope to get to a size where we can keep fabric and stock on hand, but that day is not today. If you are wondering about the current estimated lead time for a product, feel free to shoot us a dm on instagram.

 

Why are prices so high?

We try to keep prices low! However, we use only all natural materials, and I pay my workers a living wage for their work.

 

All natural fibers?

Well, yes and no. At this time all embroidery work is done using polyester thread solely because I have so much polyester embroidery thread that came with my machine, and I need to use it. As I do more and more embroidery, however, I will dwindle down my stash of thread and need to replace it with, hopefully, natural alternatives.
