Weaving memories!
(QNO) - Situated along the historic Silk Road, where major maritime ships docked in the 16th and 17th centuries, Hoi An thrived as a hub of commerce and specialized services, shaping its rich heritage in bespoke craftsmanship.
In the early 20th century, the first Western-style tailor shops emerged in Hoi An.
In 2006, tailoring was recognized as one of Hoi An’s 50 official tourism products during the first National Tourism Year hosted by Quang Nam. That same year, Time Magazine honored Hoi An as one of the world’s fastest and most affordable tailoring destinations, renowned for its diverse designs.
The tailoring shops of Hoi An have welcomed politicians and artists from both Vietnam and abroad, offering them a unique experience in bespoke craftsmanship.
The stitches crafted by Hoi An’s artisans are not only exquisite in detail but also reflect the deep dedication of those who uphold this tradition. Every tailor carries a story, and every shop holds a journey through the memories of this land.
At the end of 2024, tailoring was officially recognized as a provincial traditional craft, reaffirming the enduring vitality of folk craftsmanship and wisdom.
