The tailor to your child’s wild dress-up box
Atelier Spatz started in 2013 with Jo’s own kids growing up with vintage costumes that had been in her family for generations. Missing from the seafarer’s chest of costumes in her parents’ attic was a bird cape and so she made one. Over the past years, they have been joined by everything from snow queens, ringmasters and superheroes to sea horses, fairies and pirate costumes.
Jo has made costumes for children’s museums like the Young V&A in London as well as children’s theatre groups, ballet dancers and film. All costumes are made by hand in Luxembourg and ship to clients worldwide.
Autumn magic
Autumn is always the busiest — and most magical — season in the studio. As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, we naturally shift indoors, carrying the sunshine and stories of summer with us. This is the time when we transform those cherished outdoor memories into cozy, creative adventures.
It’s also the season of celebration, with Halloween just around the corner and Christmas twinkling on the horizon. Costumes, props, and a dash of imagination can help bring your moments to life, whether you’re capturing the playful spirit of spooky season or the warmth of holiday traditions.
Let this autumn be your invitation to step into character, embrace the change of season, and create something unforgettable.
If you need something made to order or bespoke, please contact me.

The artful costume
“The Artful Costume” is more than a dress-up piece—it’s a handcrafted story brought to life.
As an artisan children’s costume maker, I weave imagination into every stitch, blending fine craftsmanship with playful design. Each costume is thoughtfully created to spark wonder, inspire creativity, and feel as magical to wear as it looks.
A well-designed costume also carries an educational character, encouraging children to explore history, culture, and storytelling through play. To me, an artful costume is not just attire, but a gateway to adventure—where quality, artistry, and childhood dreams meet.
