ABOUT THE LABEL
The name 3EIGHTH, is derived from 3/8" (three eighths of an inch), also used as an allowance for garment construction — a symbol of space to breathe, to be yourself.
First established as a female-fronted tailoring house, 3EIGHTH is a Singapore-based label focused on the the discipline of tailoring and emotional storytelling.
OUR DESIGN REALM
Every 3EIGHTH piece is tailored for conversation - with details that will journey you through an exploration of fabrics, quality and comfort.
We design for the in-between — the balance between structure and ease, masculine and feminine, practicality and poetry.
We hope every piece sparks memory, conversation, and gratitude — that each garment allows its wearer to feel seen, that they speak of you, and for you.
PRIVATE DESIGN & TAILORING SERVICES
Taking cues from our founder designer’s roots in classic menswear tailoring, we love experimenting with materials and hybridising designs between the contemporary and classic, with a touch of uniqueness, even in the face of uniformity. Each piece is designed with consideration for the client, understanding their needs and wants for their outfits, whether it's for an event, your big day or something you'd like to just show up in.
Taking a sustainable approach with a small tight-knit production in-house, we ensure that your garments are made with the utmost care and quality, and want them to be treasured for the many years to come.
MAKER OF OUR UNIVERSE
Founder & Creative Director, Sheryl Yeo
Starting out in fashion as a part-time retail assistant and marketing intern in 2010 to independent store, Rockstar by Soon Lee (now defunct), Sheryl went on to complete her Bachelor’s Degree in Business (Marketing) with RMIT University (Melbourne) and took her first official marketing role as a Marketing Manager for menswear label in 2014.
She took a career change in 2016, and completed her certification in Fashion Design with the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA), and started her apprenticeship in classic menswear tailoring with esteemed tailoring house, The Prestigious (Singapore).
She embarked on her own journey, opening doors to 3EIGHTH in November, 2018. What first started as an angry quest to put women in suits, has now evolved into a brand new Ikigai for the label, with a deeper appreciation for the details and materials that go into crafting garments.
