Hello! Just a word of warning if you are coming to Hoi An to buy clothes. There are loads of amazing tailors in almost every other shop in the old town. We were approached whilst having a coffee by a lady who established it was our first day there. She managed to convince us to walk with her to her shop- which was actually in the market hall. She told us that the tailor we had originally planned to go to had closed, and was extremely friendly and flattering (in hindsight I should have known that this was just to get us to go with her but we were very tired and jet lagged!) once we were there we were pressured into choosing clothes styles and fabrics- to cut a long story short we paid about 5 times the price that we should have- and were made to pay in advance. I do realise that this is my own fault and that I was extremely naive- I have since heard from other tourists that their hotels warned them not to buy clothes from the stalls in the market. The clothes I received are made from very cheap fabric (think Temu fabrics!!) and would have actually cost less to make in the UK. I hope this post helps someone from making the same mistake we did 😣

The best tailor is in Da Nang, Quy Minh
I am after western boots and western shirts
Only approach someone instead of let someone approach you. Especially if they can speak fluent english
My experience May last year for a mother of the bride dress. I Researched before we arrived, brought my own material, brought the dress I wanted the new one based on. Made an appointment
My friend got a tuxedo jacket, 2 pairs of pants, 2 shirts, and 2 bow ties made and was quoted about $300usd.
You live and you learn. Great post thank you for warning everyone here.
We used Sisters with confidence. Lovely quality fabric and workmanship (or workwomanship in their case!).
Arnt you a silly sausage (meant as joke OK)
Also, please don’t be taken in by the ‘100%’ silk labels. They will tell you it’s real silk…. It’s silk alright… synthetic silk! There are true mulberry silk worm fabrics but they are 10 times the price.
Thank you for sharing, hopefully this will help others
