Hoi An’s allure extends beyond its stunning landscapes, delectable cuisine, and rich historical culture—it also preserves one of Vietnam’s oldest traditions: tailoring.
In 2006, Time magazine recognized Hoi An’s tailoring industry as the fastest and most affordable in the world, offering a wide variety of designs. This reputation continues to draw international visitors, like Canadian tourist Sarah Carver, who said, “Before coming to Vietnam, I watched many TikTok videos about quick tailoring, and I knew I had to visit Hoi An.”
Nguyen Thi Lan, a seasoned tailor in Hoi An, explained, “Our workers have at least 15 years of experience, so they work quickly and efficiently. We provide consultations on designs, fabrics, and measurements, and within about six hours, customers can try on their new clothes.”
Julie Nash, another Canadian tourist, praised the service: “I give it a perfect 10. I received a custom-made outfit exactly as I envisioned. I’ve never had a tailoring experience like this, and I feel so lucky to have visited Hoi An.”
Despite the rise of ready-to-wear fashion, Hoi An’s tailor shops maintain a unique and cherished place in the industry.
