Overview
Hoi An is Vietnam's most famous custom-tailoring city, with about 600 tailor shops crammed into the Ancient Town alone. As a 16th-17th century trading port, Hoi An inherited textile traditions from Chinese, Japanese, and Indian merchants, and today it specializes in fast, affordable custom suits, dresses, shirts, coats, and the Vietnamese traditional ao dai. Most orders are completed within 24-48 hours of your initial measurements, with 1-2 fitting sessions to perfect the cut. A full suit runs about VND 1,500,000-5,000,000 (KRW 80,000-280,000), ao dai VND 800,000-1,500,000, and shirts VND 400,000-700,000. Highly rated shops include Yaly Couture, Miss Forever, and Tho Best. Booking in advance and bringing reference photos is recommended.
Opening Hours
Typically 08:00-21:00 (varies by shop)
Travel Tips
Best schedule: measurements day 1, first fitting day 2, pickup day 2-3. Bring reference photos and fabric ideas to save time. Light bargaining is possible, but very cheap shops often mean lower quality.
