The Happy Tailor at Hidden Beach

Report Abuse

Description

Loan runs this tailor shop attached to Hidden Beach, which puts it a short walk outside the Ancient Town chaos and noticeably cheaper for it. She works fast – multiple reviewers report same-day or overnight turnaround on custom pieces, with zero alterations needed on the first fitting. That’s not common in Hoi An, and it’s the main reason people come back trip after trip.

She handles everything from casual linen shirts and silk dresses to gala-level event wear, and she’s been doing it consistently for over a decade. Her English is strong, which cuts out the usual guesswork on fit and design details.

The location is part of the appeal. You drop off your measurements and fabric choices, then spend the waiting time at the beach next door (with a beer, per one loyal Sydney regular’s standing advice). It’s a better system than hovering around a Ancient Town shop.

Highlights

Insider Tip
Bring a photo reference for any specific design details - Loan's English is good but a visual shortcut on collar shape or sleeve length saves everyone time when you're working on a 24-hour deadline.
Pros
- Multiple reviewers with 3-10+ year return histories praise consistent quality every visit
- Fast turnaround - custom pieces ready within 24 hours, delivered on time
- First-fit accuracy is unusually high; several customers report no alterations needed
- Prices consistently described as better than Ancient Town rates
Cons
'- Located outside the Ancient Town, so requires a deliberate trip if you're not already heading to Hidden Beach
- Only 19 reviews total, so the sample size is small (though every single one is positive, which is suspicious in the best way)
Best For
Solo traveler, Couples, Groups, Budget
