Top Hong Kong tailors in Kowloon

31 December, 2018 by Expat Living 4 Min Read

https://expatliving.hk/top-hong-kong-tailors-kowloon/

Looking to get a customised suit or a bespoke shirt? Hong Kong has a long history as a world-renowned hub of the tailoring. And the epicentre of that hub is Kowloon, which has a host of tailors sought out by celebrities, businesspeople and political leaders who want made-to-measure clothing. Here’s our guide to some of the best Hong Kong tailors in Kowloon.

Empire International Tailors

Empire International Tailors was established in 1983 by brothers Andy and Anthony Asaf. These Hong Kong tailors have a reputation around the world for excellence, and has been written about in The New York Times, USA Today, CNN, and more. Although consisting of a small team, the work of Empire’s award-winning master tailors speaks for itself. The tailors in their in-house workshop in East Tsim Sha Tsui have more than 30 to 40 years’ experience in making tailored suits.

The family-run tailor shop’s approach is not to rush the work, but instead pay attention to detail with a personal approach that begins with the first fitting. Empire Tailors suggest bringing in pictures which represent the look their clients are going for, and allowing as much time as possible to guarantee the best results for their custom suits. As Andy says: “Everything is overseen by the family, so it’s personal for us. We make sure all of our customers have a personal and comfortable experience. We avoid rush orders and refuse to do the famous 24-hour turnaround Hong Kong is known for. Instead, we allow time for careful fittings and alterations to make sure the final results are perfect.”

You can make an appointment at one of the showrooms, or provide your measurements to the Lee Baron team. They have a selection of garments on their website which can be customised to suit any customer, and they can also recreate garments from your existing wardrobe.

Gordon Yao & Co.

In 1952, Gordon Yao’s father opened the Asia Arts Fashion House in Miramar Hotel Arcade after moving to Hong Kong from Shanghai. He joined the family business in 1961 after doing an apprenticeship. Under his father’s tutelage, he honed his craft and, in 1969, the business was renamed Gordon Yao & Co. Since then, Gordon has continued the family tradition of focusing on excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail. The company offers bespoke menswear, with every suit and shirt handmade in the workshop. It sources fabrics from prestigious mills around the world, and stocks brands such as Holland and Sherry, John G. Hardy, Hunt and Winterbotham, and Loro Piana. Team members visit the US regularly, along with various European locations.

5 steps for a stylish Christmas, courtesy of Hong Kong-based home furnishing retailer @indigo_living 🎄
 
#1 Decide on a Theme:
Every momentous Christmas feast begins with a stunning table-scape. Whether you’re going for the classic red and green pairing or a contemporary setting, pick a theme that you can go all out with! 
 
#2 Organise Your Linen:
Generally speaking, a crisp white linen table-runner will do. But if you’re looking to up the ante this year, go for one with subtle prints on it. 
 
#3 Choose a Centrepiece:
 A beautiful Christmas centrepiece is the fastest way to add cheer to your party. It’s also a great excuse to show off your creative flair to friends and family. 
 
#4 Invest in a Good Set of Tableware:
When it comes to tableware, most people play it safe with crystal glasses and porcelain plates. Why not take it up a notch by throwing a set of gold cutlery into the mix? It’s an instant pop of luxury that exudes warmth to traditional red and green themes. 🍴
 
#5 End with a Bang:
What’s a Christmas dinner without some good old-fashioned crackers? Sure to put a smile on anyone’s faces, they’ll also ensure your party goes out with a bang! 💫
