Yerevan and the rest of Armenia
Why this matters in Armenia
Yerevan now has more households whose wardrobes would not look out of place in London or Milan – and clothes like that call for proper care. Very few people in Yerevan do this work. Judging it yourself is difficult, and one mistake can ruin a coat that cost more than the month’s wages. We carry that risk for you.

Questions
What people ask most often
How is this different from a dry cleaner?
A dry cleaner cleans a garment and sends it back. A wardrobe manager runs the whole cycle: daily care, storage, the dressing room, preparing for the season and for trips, keeping an eye on the fastenings. It is continuous work, not something you buy once.
What does this work cost in Yerevan?
It is a narrow skill and the salary reflects that. Our fee is 50 % of the monthly salary, of which the client pays 25 %. We give a range once we have talked about the size of the wardrobe and the hours.
Can they travel with us?
Yes. We look for candidates willing to work outside Armenia. The terms for trips are set out separately in the agreement.
How do you test knowledge of materials?
At interview we ask specific questions: how a particular fabric is cared for, what temperatures it takes, which products are used, how to handle decoration and fastenings. General answers are not enough. We want the detail.
What about confidentiality?
They have access to the client’s personal belongings, so we check the background and the references more thoroughly than usual. Your details are not passed to candidates unless they need them.
