Worst Tailor Experience in Hoi An — Save Your Money and Go Elsewhere
I've been coming to Hoi An for years and have used several different tailors. This trip, I decided to go with Yaly Couture, thinking their reputation meant quality. My wife and I placed an order worth about $2,000 USD. It turned out to be the single worst tailoring experience I've ever had, and I've had plenty to compare it to.
The staff member assigned to us was constantly walking away in the middle of consultations. I had specific requirements and preferences to discuss, but she kept disappearing. What should have taken one hour stretched into four because I spent three of those hours simply waiting for her to come back.
When measurements were finally taken, they were done poorly. The first fitting was so far off that an extra round of alterations was needed. What was promised as a two day turnaround became four days, eating into time we could have spent actually enjoying the city.
The attitude made everything worse. The staff member was aggressive in her tone, words, and even physically rough when handling my body for measurements. There was no sense of service or care.
I was never offered any choices for buttons, stitching, or engraving. When I asked multiple times, the answer was always "cannot, cannot, cannot." Out of curiosity I asked another staff member, who confirmed they absolutely could do all of it. But the person assigned to me overheard and shut it down again. It was only when I escalated to the managers that they confirmed, yes, of course these options were available.
The final insult: my wife received a pair of pants where one leg was white and the other was yellow. We sent photos and videos showing the defect. They acknowledged the problem. That was over five months ago. Every time we follow up about a reimbursement, the answer is "we will check." Still nothing.
I eventually had to escalate the entire situation just to get my deposit back for the remaining issues.
There are so many tailors in Hoi An who will actually listen to you, take proper measurements, offer real customization, and deliver on time. Do yourself a favour and choose one of them instead. Yaly Couture was all reputation and zero substance.
