A Modern Epic of Savile Row
From poverty in Trinidad to becoming one of Savile Row’s most distinguished master tailors, Professor Andrew M. Ramroop OBE’s journey is, in the words of Bespoken author Ashok Kumar Bal, “no less than a modern epic”.
Andrew Ramroop, owner of Maurice Sedwell and founder of the Savile Row Bespoke Academy, overcame immense challenges on his path to London — including prejudice, unfamiliarity and the barriers of how he looked and spoke.
Yet his ambition never wavered.
“I was too naive to know what racism meant,” Andrew recalled. “So, when someone turned me down, I thought that I was just not suitable.”
His extraordinary journey, his Indian heritage and his rise to the highest levels of British tailoring are now captured in Bespoken — a story of ambition, resilience and craftsmanship.
