- Bethan4 contributionsJeanne and Peter 1st floor shop 165I would highly recommend Jeanne and Peter to any jacket lover. I bought two beautiful leather jackets, they were both so helpful and talented! I will be getting another jacket soon! Tailor made and fits me better than any jacket ever has. They really listen to you and what you want. If you’re ever in Shanghai please pay them a visit!Visited September 2023Traveled with friendsWritten October 23, 2023
- Jakub GWroclaw, Poland4 contributionsGreat shirts from JoJo!I have visited Spinning Market all by myself on Saturday evening, went straight to Jo Jo Tailor (first floor, no. 134) and ordered two shirts - great service, wide selection of fabrics, cuff and collar styles, nice heavy buttons,staff speaks good english and everyone was overall helpful. Picked up my shirts day later and they fit like a glove! Overall great experience, If I ever have more chances to visit Shanghai - JoJo is on my list :)Visited October 2023Traveled soloWritten October 28, 2023
- I Kit C4 contributionsFirst tailor experienceJack is a very transparrent tailor with the patience of a Saint. He shares with you the technical details of what makes the suit / jacket premium. If you can think of the design they can make it with a high standard. Their prices are reasonable for the service and quality they provide. Whatever your budget, they have something to suit your taste. I enjoyed my experience shopping with them and would recommend it if you need to find something designed for your unique body.Visited November 2023Traveled with friendsWritten November 4, 2023
- Pierre.xbh3 contributionsGood quality, good communicationI highly recommend Jack and Candy store at the 3rd floor. Their price/quality ratio is good, and they have a pretty decent choice of fabrics. I got a 3 piece suit done there about 2 weeks ago and I am really satisfied. Easy to communicate and Jack understands pretty well his customer's needs or requests. Finally they also helped me to fix some old suit pants that I still had and that were much too large for me so I can finally wear it again.Visited October 2023Written November 7, 2023
- James B7 contributionsBest suit shopping experience ever - I’m amazed! This is the best place to go in Shanghai!10/10 - 5* - the only place I need for my suits now!!! I came for a work trip to Shanghai, I work on stages around the world hosting sporting events and I needed to get something special made for the Chinese fans. The team here were so helpful, accurate in their measurements and gave great advice to me on how I should get the suit made. It turned out perfectly, they even bring it to the hotel as well. I have had suits made all over the world and no one has cared so much about the little details. Thank you so much guys!

- MelissTripABoston, Massachusetts9 contributionsFriendly, talented and helpful tailors. Highly recommended.JoJo Tailor (#134) is simply the best. She speaks English so it made communication easier. My husband made a suits. I made a coat and two silk dresses. Everything turned out perfectly and no adjustment needed. It’s a family run shop. The dad and two daughters are all very helpful and friendly, most important thing is that they are very talented. The suits they made for my husband is much better than the suits he bought from high end shops. They have an excellent selections on materials. We highly recommend JoJo’s Tailor.Visited October 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten November 10, 2023
- ggtoronto5Toronto, Canada80 contributionsJoyce tailorWent to get a Womens suit made at Joyce . They all say they can do it. But even the best one in that mall has failed. Joyce tailor didn’t do a great job with the pants. BUT she corrected it without question. I ended up buying a few more suits from her. She is truly amazingVisited October 2023Traveled on businessWritten November 17, 2023
- Trevor D1 contributionJOJO tailor No. 134 - go visit!JOJO Tailor is amazing. The market is huge and many tailors try to tell you their product is the best. After looking at many options, I chose JOJO because the quality of the materials was evident, her pricing was fair, and her family team was amazing to work with. I initially purchased two suits, and then messaged her to add a third after I left. Her custom tailored dress shirts were great as well. She had them ready for me on my return a week later and everything was incredible. Very happy with their work and service and I will definitely return for more! Thank you JOJO!!!Visited October 2023Traveled on businessWritten November 20, 2023
- Tri S1 contributionVery satisfied with Stitch&Co. -Stall 181, Floor 1If you’re looking for not only a crisp, well-made new suit but also an exceptional experience look no further than Stitch&Co located in Stall 181, Floor 1. I was in need of a suit and after walking the market I decided to try Stitch&Co. I was not disappointed! Linda is an excellent tailor whose knowledge and expertise were readily apparent as she showed me different materials and colors, ultimately helping me select them and getting the fit just right. Even though my order was done late in the day my order was ready the following day and when picking it up it fit flawlessly. I cannot recommend Stitch&Co. enough for your clothing needs. My suit is high-quality, very flattering and comfortable. I will return in the future, definitely put Stitch&Co. on your list!Visited November 2023Traveled on businessWritten November 27, 2023

Random stall here selling odd items. Convincing English speaking salesperson will try to offload random trinkets and old looking things to unsuspecting customers at extremely inflated prices. If you want to buy something here best to check the price on taobao first (because they are definitely not one of a kind items or special antiques) or negotiate until you are about 15% of his opening price. Otherwise just avoid.

Came with my father on the recommendation from his musician friends. He had shirts and a sports coat made in some great materials and colors. I had an amazing 3/4 length cashmere overcoat made. Everything looks and feels great! She even organized shipping to my address in Shanghai!
Jojo specializes in business/formal wear for men/women. The experience her shop was great and the two ladies provided great service! Unlike some places I’ve visited, they really do speak English, not just a few phrases. This makes a big difference in the experience and helped properly organize everything we needed.
I will definitely be coming back next time my family needs some formal wear made.

I discovered this tailor shop during the month of June to equip myself with new suits for work, and I am absolutely delighted with my experience. I purchased three suits, and each of them is a work of art in terms of cut and style. The suits are not only elegant but also original. The service was impeccable, attentive to all my needs. I highly recommend this store to anyone looking for high-quality, customized clothing.

Absolutely fantastic tailors! I decided to go to them because of the reviews and they did not disappoint. The suits are well made and the price was very cheap compared to what it would cost us back home, they offer hotel delivery if you're unavailable to pick it up, and even ship internationally.
What stands out most about this place is the service.
First of all, Kelly is charming, funny, and informative. My brothers have very different builds to each other and were unsure on which suit style would look flattering but Kelly helped with that. She suggested and explained what type of shirt, tie, and shoes they could wear and whether they should wear a waistcoat.
Secondly, we received the suits within 3 days and my brother wanted the suit adjusted a little and it was done within the day which was great as our flight was the next day.
Lastly, they gave us a free tie for each suit and also gave us a little discount. My 2 brothers ended up buying 3 suits between them and will most likely be buying more.
They are very pleased with the suits and I definitely recommend going to Kelly & May when you're in Shanghai.

First time suit buyer. After failing to even closely fit in over a dozen ready to wear suits, finally decided to look for affordable MTM(made-to-measure) options and found “South Bund Fabric Market”. Tbh, most of the shops look quite similar, and the reviews online vary so wildly, it was almost impossible to make an easy choice. Thanks to a local friend, finally decided to go with the “Suits by Susan”. The prices seem to range between 2k-5k based on material and other details. After choosing the material, style and initial measurements, the fitting was after one week, where their tailor does adjustments and I also asked for couple modifications. Fast forward another week and I got the suit and it was pretty satisfactory, fit was just right and felt quite comfortable overall. If anyone’s looking for a good fit and affordable suits here in Shanghai, 10/10 would recommend it. The place is in the second floor(269) of the building, and you can ask for Andy there, who speaks quite good English. (see him there in the pic)
Also, It seems ‘suits by susan’ has multiple stores but the staff on the other one I’ve spoken with earlier were not quite patient and annoyingly salesy, thus I’ve ended up with this branch.

I bought suits, coats and shirts from Jo Jo Tailor in November of 2019. Due to COVID-19, I forgot that I had left several of my custom shirts at the dry cleaner for several months and they were lost. So, I contacted Jo Jo through WeChat to see if I could place an order. She verified that they had my measurements and I selected the fabrics to be used. JoJo advised of her reasonable shipping flat rate for up to 1kg in weight and so I ordered 5 and arranged payment through Western Union. Several days later s package arrived and the shirts were perfect. We had a great experience with Jo Jo Tailor in Shanghai and just as good ordering remotely through WeChat. I highly recommend them!

Highly recommend the Tailors “Jack Candy Lily” on the 3rd floor of the material market. I have been visiting this Tailor for 6 years during my business trips and they are the best. Their fabric is of the highest quality and their attention to detail is superb. I have had suits, coats, shirts and dinner suits made from them and they look and feel a million dollars. They speak good English, they make you feel so welcome and they are passionate about the quality of their clothes. And if you need anything more clothes made once you get back home, you just WhatSApp them as they keep your sizes and ship directly to your home overseas. Brilliant. They are wonderful people and very professional. I highly recommend you try them and get something bespoke made. You will be very happy.

JoJo Tailoring stall number 134 - we employed JoJo a lot when we lived in Shanghai for 3 years and now coming back in 2023, her service is just as good. Garments beautifully made, great advice with tailoring options and beautiful fabrics and all at a reasonable price. JoJo does not do the usual outrageous price first and work back - she gives a fair price upfront to start with. We think the best in the market! the workmanship is terrific. We just had 12 business shirts and a beautiful suit made and ready within the week.

The South Bund Soft Spinning Material Market is home to hundereds of tailors and seamstresses, and is Shanghai’s prime destination for bespoke clothing garments. If it can be stitched and sewn, it can almost certainly be made at the market.
One of the most popular shops at the market, is Kelly & May #244, which draws in a loyal following of locals and tourists alike and for good reason. I would argue that Kelly & May offers the best value for money when it comes to men’s tailoring. Firstly, both women for whom the shop is named,are helpful, easy to talk to and knowledgeable when it comes to tailoring. May recommended a lapel width and suit style for me based on my build and her recommendation resulted in myriad compliments on the finished garment.
Secondly, the suit construction itself is consistent with higher end men’s suiting. For example, the jackets aren’t made with cheap fused material like lower end off the rack garments. This results in a better draping, longer lasting garment. Additionally, there’s a range of different fabrics from which to chose. The house fabrics are excellently priced, but they are able to obtain premium fabrics for the more discerning gentlemen.
Overall, Kelly & May offers a quality garment at affordable prices. Both women work hard to build lasting relationships with their customers and the shop’s popularity evinces that, like their tailoring, they get it right.

This was my first time ever going to the fabric market and it can be very overwhelming, especially not speaking Chinese. However, on the second floor (store #244) we ran in Kelly and May. She spoke perfect English and understood exactly what I wanted. I usually don’t like traditional suits. I like more trendy looks. Baggier fits. And Kelly understood that perfectly. I had a jacket and matching pants made and was very happy with the results. She also offered to do free alterations if I find anything wrong with it as I wear it more.
She is so kind and friendly and made the whole experience very easy, efficient, and comfortable. Like being with an old friend. If you are ever in Shanghai and want something made or even just altered, then I insist going to Kelly and May. She speaks English very well, cares a lot about the quality of her work, and for a very good price considering I know have a compete custom, tailor-made suit that I can easily get altered.
I will definitely be back to the fabric market thanks to her. It is a great option if you are tired of fast fashion and want pieces that are going to last and don’t cost an extortionate amount of money.

How much did the suits cost... ballpark? How long to get the finished produce? I'm thinking of an overnight trip to Shanghai to buy a couple of suits while visiting Wuhan next week.
Written October 12, 2019
Suits will cost between 750 to 1000 rmb max depending on the quality of the material. It usually take 3 to 4 days max but you can always ask for less days.

Hi, I was just there a few days ago and am not certain I was at the right place. The place I went to was just one floor, and was dark, not too attractive, and some of the staff was sleeping. In the videos it looks like a shopping mall. What am I missing?

does anyone know the name or phone number of the silk store in third floor? It’s big, has a big window. I bought 19 yards (!) of gorgeous silk drape fabric there two years ago, but even that wasn’t enough. Want to call them and see if they have or can get more, and make the drapes. It’s a great place! Thanks for any help!
