About
Well established at the most prestigious bespoke tailor and shoe-maker in Hoi An. Yaly was born from the humble roots of a small market stall run by Ms. Quynh, a Hoi An local, with a natural talent for design and a passion to provide high quality workmanship, service and fabrics to international standard. Ms. Quynh’s determination has immortalised the craft of traditional tailoring and Yaly has become a world renowned institution with three beautiful Hoi An tailors in the old town, providing high standard workshops and the best professional training for each of its valued employees. Some might say Yaly are the best tailors in Hoi An but why don't you come down to Hoi An Vietnam and see for yourself?

    Skip the negotiating at a higher-end option in Hoi An
    I checked out Yaly Couture while in Hoi An, and was impressed by the level of service and knowledge of the staff that I worked with. If you're looking to buy a tailored suit, Yaly offers suits in a range of materials, colors, and patterns to bring your dream to life. Many reviews have suggested that it's difficult to find the higher end materials (without any synthetic fibers) much elsewhere in Hoi An. Know before you go: unlike other shops in Hoi An where haggling and negotiating are part of the process, Yaly's prices are generally fixed. Suit prices are listed next to all of the fabric options on the wall, and if you attempt to negotiate prices (say for buying multiple suits) then your sales rep may bring over another friendly associate to remind you that Yaly's prices are fixed on the wall "to be fair to everyone." Here were some of the prices I saw in Oct 2023: If you pick a fabric made from mostly synthetic materials like polyester, suits are in the $100-150 range. Suit made of a "wool/cashmere" blend ("with just a little bit of polyester and cotton blended in" according to the salesperson I talked to) are about $300-350. If you're after a suit made from 100% wool (heavy or lightweight) or 100% wool/cashmere, expect to spend upwards of $350 per suit.

    Personalized attention.
    Excellent service, excellent quality garments. Ann and Mary helped us with our clothes. They were patient and made sure that our garments were exactly as we wanted. The owner Ms. Quynh took the time to talk with us and surprised us with an invitation to her fashion show!

    Amazing experience
    I went to make my shirt and dress for my daughter and Ms. Ruby assisted us. It was such a smooth communication and since our stay was short, Ruby kindly offered speed delivery and successfully delivered to our hotel on a same day at night. Both my shirt and my daughter’s dress were beyond perfect and I would definitely come back to make more clothes next time. Thank you so much for the great professionalism!!

    GREAT ALL AROUND
    5-star review for this tailor that exceeded all expectations. Emily our tailor was patient, not pushy, and gave us valuable advice to create several suits, blazers, business shirts and shorts; with a perfect fit after just two quick fittings. The material selection is vast and extremely good quality. I would not hesitate to recommend Yaly to all tourists looking for high end, quality custom tailoring with genuine friendly service. We will be straight back next Hoi An visit!

    Exceptional experience and beautiful clothes
    Arrived in Hoi An with the idea of maybe a suit, left with suits, casual clothes, work outfit and leisure wear! Staff and professional, quietly spoken, knowledgeable and helpful. Staff presentation must be acknowledged ... they wear a theme colour each day and are impeccably dressed. The place can get crazy busy but not stressful and strangely not noisy!! Huge range of fabrics to choose from plus pre made styles, catalogues to flick through and will discuss ideas with you! The end result is a case of beautifully tailored clothes to take back to Australia!

    Wish I could spend a day there!
    Yaly is overwhelming with the selection of fabrics, patterns and ready to wear options. You should have an idea what you want before going there although there is much inspiration with the samples and clothes available for sale. They will guide you if you choose an inappropriate fabric for a style and make recommendations if you describe what you’re looking for. The seamstresses are located there so they can turn around an outfit in 1 -2 days or less. It is quite an experience to have something made there. Highly recommend.

    A great experience at Yaly Couture!
    Never having been to a tailor previously, we weren't quite sure what to expect in visiting a tailor for the first time - we were keen, however, to follow the 'usual practice' of having some clothing made when visiting Hoi An. After an experience the day before of being 'encouraged/hassled' in the market area to get clothes made, walking into the calm atmosphere of Yaly Couture was a delightful experience! The quality and range of materials was spectacular and the helpful, friendly and professional advice of our tailors/advisors, Grace and Summer, was excellent. An initial fitting the next day followed by a final fitting the following day ensured that we were completely happy with all aspects of our garments. For the high quality service and products we received, we thought the prices were extremely reasonable. We will definitely go back to Yaly Couture the next time we visit Hoi An! Gen and Monica

    "You could hear the sounds of sewing machines upstairs." My experience at Yaly Couture
    During my trip in Hoi An, my group with family and friends went to tour around Hoi An. We encountered various amount of tailor shops and I was curious as to why there was so many. (I later found out this was Hoi An's expertise/what Hoi An is popular/known for). After our tour, the tour guide recommended us the good quality shops and this is where we found Yaly Couture. It peaked out interested by the outside of the shop. Exposed to beautiful and different fabrics, for men and women, and for different occasions. When we entered, we were greeted by a crowd of friendly staff looking forward to satisfy our needs. They escort us to a seating area and gave us a range of books and water (since it is hot in Hoi An). I gave them photos of two dresses I wanted to get done. A hanfu, which they couldn't do since they didn't have the pattern for it (Although I was going to ask if they could sew it on.) But either way, I was a bit worried that they might not know how hanfu was made. (traditional chinese dress) Which was totally fine. The second dress was a red formal dress, and the staff member that helped me confirmed it was okay to make. She took me to find my fabric and was very patient with me (since it was my first time getting something tailored). She took my measurements (really fast, I was impressed) and told my mother that she could pay for half of it. So, when we come back for fittings the next day, we could pay for the remaining if we were happy with our products. My mum also got two dresses and the staff helping her was very friendly. Giving advice and feedback to what flatters my mother's body, and also talked a bit about her life. Anyways, the next day when we came back to do our fittings, they were very encouraging and complimented the dress. I also noticed that you could hear the sounds of sewing machines upstairs. Later that night, they brought it to our hotel and I'd say it was a very good experience. The dress is so well made, the fabric was exactly like what I wanted and good quality and the service was friendly and necessary. I'd definitely go back if I had the chance to!

    Wonderful!!
    Susan (Heen) was so professional and lovely to deal with!! Our daughter (12) was over the moon about her dress and between the rest of us (2 adults and 2 in mid 20s) we had two full suits, three dress shirts, two custom dresses and a pair of dress pants (all within 24 hours - including a fitting). Thank you Susan and all of the fabulous staff!!

    The best taylors in the world
    If you want the most beautiful clothes made, this is the only place to go in Hoian. The girls are fantastically well trained, with brilliant English. The fabric choices are massive and so many very very beautiful ones to choose from. Whether you want a tailored suit, or a fabulous evening gown, a cocktail dress or casual skirt, Yalys will make you anything very fast. They fit beautifully and last forever.

This place is visited by too many tourists, and as a result, the tailors do not spend enough time with you, especially when one considers how much they charge. I ordered two outfits and both have problems. The first one, a Vietnamese traditional outfit (tunic and pants), ended up being too tight around the waist. When I came home and looked at it closer to see if I could loosen it up a bit, I was shocked to see how badly finished the tunic was. Extra pieces hanging all over the place. You can't see it when I wear it, but finishing matters when you pay this kind of price (for example, a friend who had a traditional outfit made elsewhere paid half the price, and it is better made.) The second outfit is a simple dress that ended up looking only OK because they had made it so much larger than it should have been that taking it in did not completely solve the problem. I wear it around the house, but that's not what I had in mind (again for this price.). I give three stars because I like the fabrics, otherwise I would have given two.
I would advise anyone wishing to have something made in Hoi An to find another tailor, one with fewer customers who can pay more attention to your needs (and will probably charge a lot less).

Yaly is definitely one of the more popular and reputable tailors in Hoi An. It came highly recommended by friends and is also one of the more expensive tailors in town, but we decided we would give it a go after our hotel receptionist suggested Yaly and a couple of other tailors - but warned us that your pay what you get for’!
We couldn’t be happier that we did!! We ended up getting a few shirts, a pair of pants, a couple of blouses, a dress and a jumpsuit made and they were not only really well-made (couldn’t fault the quality if I tried!) but were also so quick. Ruby was excellent in helping us pick the fabrics & suggest changes for designs we had in mind (definitely bring in photos that they can copy, even if it’s a few different things you want pieced together!) and we learnt quickly to trust her experience in terms of what works! She was great with the fitting also and was a perfectionist at making sure it all fit perfectly.
A great experience all round. My only regret is not bringing along more of my favourite pieces from home to get them copied and fitted exactly up my size! Oh - and the pricing was ok as well. We paid approx 80USD for a dress (dependent on fabric).

Stumbled into this tailor shop while walking in Hoi An.

Spanning two floors and a big building and surrounding area, this place receives you warmly and professionally, you can customize your suit, dress, shoes, etc...

Excellent quality, a suit requires about 24 hours to make, and suit will cost between 250$-380$ depending on fabric quality.

I ended up buying a double-sided leather belt for 45$. It is a bit on the pricey side for Vietnam, but excellent quality, and was also tailored to my waist circumference. I was asked to come by and collect it in 3 hours.

Wonderful purchase, and I urge you to check out the place if you plan on buying a piece of clothing to measure of great quality.

Recommended!

Few days ago my husband and I purchased an ao dai set for each of us to take back to our home country Australia. Sam who looked after us took our measurements and suggested we come back the next Day to try on once the ao dais were made. We returned the next day at the scheduled time 3pm to try it on. Upon trying on, Sam advised that she had forgot to measure my aodai’s length and we noticed the aodai was too long to the point that it was touching the ground. Sam remeasured the length and said it would get rectified and adjusted to the correct length and sent to our hotel the next day. We eventually received the Aodais at our hotel but decided not to wear it until we return back to Australia to avoid dirtying the material unnecessarily. We are now in Ho Chi Minh city getting ready to fly back tomorrow and my sister was very eager to see the dress and how it looked on me. Only to discover no adjustments were made to the aodai and was the same as when I tried it on the first time! I’m extremely disappointed as I was expecting this to get fixed. I would not recommend yaly to anyone else as this kind of mistake is unacceptable taking into consideration their price and their reputation as one of the best tailors in Hoian. There is no way that I can return to Hoian as I’m leaving tomorrow. It does not make sense I came in to try the ao dai and was pointed out that it was too long and then to receive the same ao dai without the changes.
PS. 2 stars since my husband one does fit. Otherwise, I would give 1 star only!

Fantastic service , lovely staff and amazing clothes .
If you go make sure you ask for Lily .
Her English is perfect , she is very professional and makes the whole experience really fun .
We are so used to grumpy and arrogant tailors in the UK so this was such a wonderful time and the clothes are brilliant, top quality material and they take huge pride in their work .

I should also say that shipping to the UK is very reasonable , as is the cost of a custom made three piece suit !

Thankyou Thankyou ladies and the Tailor .

A trip to Yaly Couture, when in Hoi An, is a must! The boutique is the largest and cleanest and most professional in Hoi An. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful- and will go above and beyond to make sure everything is perfectly custom for you. You can select styles and fabrics and lining and buttons and more. Maureen is FANTASTIC. She spent the better part of two days making sure my clothing was just perfect- including a stop at my hotel prior to my departure to make sure I was happy. I highly recommend working with her and the other professional ladies at Yaly.

I came here six years ago and bought a selections of shirts, suits and ties. They are all still looking great.

This time I selected five shirts and once again had an excellent experience of Yalys.

The prices are all set so no need to bargain and the staff are very professional - Kate who served me even came in to see me for checks on the shirt after her shift.

Within two days my shirts were ready having been checked the day before for final tweaks.

Great experience and I would recommend to all.

We had a fantastic experience working with Anne on a number of items. Two suits for my boyfriend and dress for me. She was very professional and detailed and took the time to help us choose everything and get the measurements exactly right. If we had more time we would’ve definitely continued shopping! Ask for Anne you won’t regret it!

Written by wife: Really helpful here, with an excellent fitting service and very beautifully made garments. I had a jump suit made in linen and the fit was amazing. You could probably get cheaper but the service was excellent. Tracy, the lady who helped me select material and measured me up, was lovely. Would definitely recommend if you are after something special as they ask for at least one fitting before finishing your garment and sometimes two, so you know it will be just what you want.

My boyfriend and I were served by Sam. Our experience was fantastic. We got tailored a shirt for him and a matching set for myself. Sam was very helpful and considerate. Not pushing us into buying anything. Yaly is definitely more expensive than most tailors in Hoi An, but it's professional and definitely worth the money. Thank you very much!
