​

Sartoria Haúse, originally known as Men-in-Suits, was founded by creative director Ekole Fonjungo (Clothier, Sartorialist & Artisanologist) in 2005 after a serendipitous encounter at a courthouse in Washington, DC.

​

While supporting a friend at the courthouse, Ekole—dressed in a brown pinstripe double-breasted Corneliani suit—caught the attention of an attorney who admired his style and requested a similar suit. This inquiry led to Ekole's first business transaction, which sparked a referral-based clothing business.

Early growth was constrained by various challenges.

​

After overcoming these challenges, and also eventually graduating from Design school in 2014, Ekole rebranded Men-in-Suits as Sartoria Haúse in 2015, dedicating the brand to Custom/Tailored/BeSpoke creations. His passion for menswear, exclusive superfine clothes, meticulous attention to "Details", and authentic European craftsmanship now defines Sartoria Haúse.

​

Sartoria Haúse experienced significant growth before encountering setbacks during the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, Ekole found opportunity amid adversity—while traveling for work during these years, he was able to expand Sartoria Haúse’s presence in numerous cities in the US and several European business destinations.

​

Our 3rd and newest showroom in Baltimore’s Downtown Inner Harbor (opened in December 2025) is designed for the Elegant Sartorial experience: curated, quiet, warm, restrained, soft lighting, muted walls that let fabrics speak, and a subtle scent of cedar and pressed wool; with every surface inviting touch and creating an atmosphere of artisanal craft rather than commerce.

​

Today with clients across major cities in the United States, Europe, The Caribbean, Africa and Middle East, Sartoria Haúse is an ever-expanding global brand, catering to the discerning lady and gentleman.
