Reneé Roberts-Turner
Turner and Spencer was born from Reneè Roberts-Turner’s passion for creating suits that truly fit the individual, not the other way around. As a healthcare executive, Reneè has always valued the importance of elegance, comfort, and impeccable fit—qualities she found lacking in women’s suiting. Inspired by her mother’s craftsmanship and the luxury of custom-made clothing, Reneè founded Turner and Spencer to bring the same level of sophistication and personalization to women’s suits that has long been available to men.
Renée’s journey with tailored clothing began in the 1990s when her mother made some of her clothes, including all her formal dresses. From these early experiences, Reneè learned the importance of precise measurements and the unique satisfaction that comes from wearing garments made just for you. However, as she built her professional wardrobe, Reneè quickly realized that finding well-fitting, structured suits was a significant challenge, especially given that she didn’t fit the typical height and weight standards. Her goal became clear: to find suits that not only fit her body perfectly but also offered the comfort and versatility needed for long workdays.
In 2022, Reneè met Quentin E. Spencer Sr., known as Mr. Q, while searching for a suit for a speaking engagement. She wanted a classic, professional black suit that fit her perfectly. Through their collaboration, Reneè discovered the art of garment construction and the differences in tailoring for men and women. This realization sparked the idea for Turner and Spencer, a luxury women’s suit line that combines Renée’s vision for comfort and style with Q’s expert tailoring. Together, they are committed to offering women beautifully fitted suits that empower them in every aspect of their lives.

Quentin E. Spencer Sr.
Quentin E. Spencer Sr., affectionately known as Q, has been passionate about tailoring since a young age, influenced by his father’s pride in dressing well and his mother’s exceptional sewing skills. At just 14 years old, Q crafted his first garment, a double-breasted waistcoat, igniting his lifelong dedication to bespoke tailoring. He refined his skills at The Progressive School of Fashion under the mentorship of master tailor Frank Zawoski, where he learned the intricate art of suit-making.
Q’s career has spanned decades, during which he has become a master in both tailoring and dry cleaning, developing a deep understanding of fabric care and garment construction. His meticulous attention to detail and commitment to craftsmanship earned him positions at prestigious brands like The Tom James Custom Clothing Company and Nordstrom's. Despite changes in the industry, Q has remained steadfast in his dedication to the traditional art of bespoke tailoring.
In 2022, Q crossed paths with Reneè Roberts-Turner when she sought a perfectly fitting suit for a speaking engagement. Their shared passion for well-tailored clothing led to the creation of Turner and Spencer, a luxury women’s suit line. Combining Renée’s vision for comfort and style with Q’s extensive experience, they are dedicated to providing women with custom-made suits that exude elegance and confidence.
