there's a good selection of material, the tailors make the best copies of the magazine pictures I present and everything fits first time - with Tricia & Verona a good second option.

“For [a tailor] with panache and a 24-hour turnaround, duck into Tricia & Verona (39 Dong Du Street; 84-8-3824-4556; www.triciaandverona.com). This boutique and workshop is run by two sisters who have Anglicized their names to reflect their more Western sense of style -- namely, more daring cuts.”

Joel Gibson - The Sydney Morning Herald
“[After leaving my suit] on a luggage trolley at Sydney Airport…Tricia and Verona…[offered] to make me another suit, then discounted the price because they felt sorry for me, and shipped it out with a Christmas card and a complimentary tie. Now that is a Vietnamese tailor worth doing business with.”

HO CHI MINH CITY, or Saigon, as most locals still call it, is a relative newcomer. With only three centuries of history, compared with Hanoi’s thousand years, the city has a youthful spirit and is quick to embrace change. This is not the Saigon familiar to the West in films like “Apocalypse Now”; it’s a forward-looking city, home to glittering skyscrapers, innovative fashion and a pulsing night life. As Vietnam’s largest city, it has an energy and noise level that can be at once exhilarating and wearying. Sure, you can still catch an occasional glimpse of picture-postcard Vietnam, like an old woman in a conical hat pedaling a bicycle, but she’ll most likely be lost in a sea of motorbikes, rumbling toward the future.

Opened a year ago by sisters Tuyen Tran and Vy Tran (who anglicized their names to Tricia and Verona to convey their Western sense of style), the store’s crisp white walls, low lacquer tables and contemporary light fixtures make it feel more like a boutique than a workshop. Specialties include wool coats, slacks, and muslin tops.

“This sleek boutique is called Tricia and Verona. It’s located right across the street from the Sheraton Hotel on Dong Du Street [Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam], which is lined with bars and restaurants…They have bags full of fabric samples and piles of magazines to help generate ideas, and many fun, fashionable items to buy off the rack or to have copied. I …encountered lots of well-heeled expats picking up glamorous silk jackets and dresses during [my visit].”
