Our Story
Tactile: The Story of Modern Craftsmanship
Founded in July 2022 by Christine Bajer, Tactile is the realization of a lifelong creative ambition refined by a decade of professional grit. A Greater Boston native, Christine spent seven years navigating the high-stakes world of software sales—a tenure that sharpened the business acumen and "bootstrapping" spirit necessary to launch a luxury label in a competitive landscape.
The brand’s foundation is built on a unique bridge between technical strategy and old-world artistry. To bring her vision to life, Christine immersed herself in the heart of the New York City Garment District, working in close collaboration with world-class atelier Cesar Galindo. Under Galindo’s mentorship—whose storied career includes work for icons like Diane Von Furstenberg and Oprah—Tactile’s first two collections were developed with an uncompromising focus on garment construction and artisanal quality.
The Philosophy
The name Tactile is a deliberate play on words, reflecting a commitment to the sensory experience of fashion. We believe that true luxury is felt as much as it is seen. By drawing power from the texture and integrity of fabrics, our pieces provide a physical confidence that translates into emotional presence.
The Tactile Woman
Our brand is engineered to empower women as they enter "big rooms." We design for the multidimensional life, creating a seamless transition from:
-
Architectural Day-to-Day Workwear: Command and sophistication for the professional sphere.
-
Exclusive Evening Elegance: High-impact silhouettes for dinners and galas.
Global Recognition
In a short time, Tactile has moved from the cutting table to the global stage. Our collections have been featured in the pages of Vogue, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, and Grazia, and have been worn by style icons including Yovanna Ventura and Eva De Dominici.
At its core, Tactile remains a testament to the idea that when meticulous craftsmanship meets modern ambition, the result is a wardrobe that doesn’t just fit—it empowers.
