    TAILOR-MADE

    “Dong Khoi Street has long been home to some of the city’s finest shopping. In colonial times, it was known as Rue Catinat, and was where the narrator in “The Lover,” by Marguerite Duras, claimed she bought her infamous felt hat.

    Today, it’s a great place to window shop, home to more silk and handicraft stores than hat shops, not to mention tailors. In a country where custom-made clothing is an affordable luxury, tailors abound.

    For one with panache and a 24-hour turnaround, duck into Tricia & Verona… 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. Summer dresses start at $34, men’s suits at $160."

    A Tailored Suit Takeaway

    "Most foreigners who buy tailored clothes in this part of the world have, sooner or later, a plane to catch. This makes it doubly important that your tailor is a) able to get it right first time, or b) able to fix it quickly.

    When my suit jacket felt a few centimetres too long, Tricia & Verona (so named for the two sisters who own the store) adjusted it overnight and I got on my flight with a few hours to spare. The suit cost $270."

Our Tailoring Legacy

Tricia's knack for business and Verona's eye for design make these sisters the perfect team. They built their business from the ground up and credit the incredible growth of their store to their demand for quality and devotion to customer service.

Most of T&V's new customers come from 24 years of customer recommendations. Word-of-mouth has always been their primary marketing and advertising. T&V's core values drive their desire to make the best custom clothing.

Born in Dakmil, Vietnam, Tricia and Verona are the daughters of a talented and beautiful tailor. The sisters grew up around fabrics and garment making. Their mother owned a tailor shop for about three years before marriage. Later, their mother became very helpful to Tricia when she started her first tailoring shop in high school. 

Tricia’s first customer was a High School classmate. She studied each morning and made clothing in the afternoon. In those early days in Dakmil, she sewed each buttonhole by hand and pressed the finished pieces using a coal iron. Tricia read books on tailoring, and her sister, Verona, took a course on garment making. The girls learned how to craft a variety of clothing, from button-down shirts to pants and skirts. 

After high school, Tricia moved to Ho Chi Minh City to study English and corporate finance. While in school she worked several jobs until she saved enough money to open her own business. She also brought each of her five brothers and sisters to Ho Chi Minh City to study. 

She brought Verona to Saigon to study Design for two years. When Verona joined her as a partner at her shop, she decided to expand. By April 2001, the two talented sisters had a large number of devoted customers and officially named their business, “Tricia & Verona.”

Customers come to T&V to shop in a relaxing environment and to choose custom clothing to match their personal style. Tricia & Verona are there every day to give expert advice and to help choose the best fabrics. 

Customers can buy custom handmade clothes worry free, knowing that Tricia and Verona will go to great lengths to ensure everyone is completely happy with his or her purchase.
