What people are saying

The quality of their suits and jackets is superb. The tailoring is much better than anything I've found at somewhere like Ann Taylor or J Crew. The fabrics are high end—100% wool or silk. It's definitely priced as a luxury brand but I think it's worth it.

Lafayette 148 is a gold mine for interesting, grown-up cool prints that aren't cutesy or precious. My two most beautiful dresses of all are both L148!

I like Lafayette 148 a lot - a great mix of classic cuts/colors but also good options for fun colors/textures. I have multiple suits in wool, silk, and linen, and they're all bangers.

Lafayette 148 is consistently solid for me.

I have a Lafayette 148 dress I found at a resale store that I LOVE! I paid like 10% of retail for it. Score!
