Proper Press — CMMP

We had an absolute blast hosting a group of women at our new Georgetown showroom, where the group enjoyed a private shopping experience, raised money, and brought awareness to Metastatic Breast Cancer and donated towards continued research for METAvivor. The women's group got suited up in CMMP custom suits and shirts and part of the proceeds were donated to METAvivor, a group run by Mallory Day.  With METAvivor 100% of your donation goes to metastatic (Stage 4) breast cancer research. Stage 4 Breast Cancer is the stage that kills. It overarchingly is the least funded with most research organizations donating 2-3% towards...

DC based artist, Timoteo Murphy takes over our Commonwealth Proper DC Showroom for a special night where he will present some never before scene artwork spanning multiple disciplines. "I'm exposing myself and my body of work to the public in an unprecedented way. This isn't a retrospective, but rather a snapshot of the cross-section of me as a multidisciplinary artist" says Timoteo Murphy about his "Overexposed" exhibit. Guests of the event were treated to the sounds of our resident DJ while sipping great drinks provided by Aberfeldy, while looking at amazing art and speaking with interesting people.

Tailoring is all about perfecting the fit so that you can feel great in something that is unique to you. Similarly, custom-made jewelry is about crafting unique pieces that reflect the wearer's personality and style, just like a tailored garment. These two disciplines go hand in hand as they both prioritize attention to detail and focus on the craftsmanship that go into creating one of a kind pieces. To compliment our tailoring, we curated a collection of rings from NYC-based custom jewelry brand, Witness Company. Witness Company's unique designs incorporate a blend of classic and modern elements, resulting in pieces that...
