What customers say about 5 Stitches Tailor
We had a great experience at 5 Stitches! We had clothes made for myself and two children (10 and 8). They were attentive and listened to what we wanted - we came prepared with pictures of designs.
5 Stitches Tailor was recommended to my husband and I by our tour guide. We are so grateful for the recommendation.
I found amazing unique designs here and customer service by Dyng was amazing. She was able to find me a custom fit set which is so one of a kind. I paid £50 for a matching set. Very happy with my experience shopping here, would definitely recommend!

Before you order at 5 Stitches Tailor
- Bring cash: one group paid a small deposit and the balance at the final fitting, and noted that the shop only takes cash.
- If you are staying in Da Nang, ask about a fitting at your hotel: one couple who had only one day in Hoi An had the final fitting done at their Da Nang hotel, about 45 minutes away, at no charge.
- They keep your measurements on file (one reviewer was told for two years) and several customers have had orders shipped abroad; one customer in Germany found the shipping cost high.
- For quick alterations to clothes you already own, compare prices: one reviewer was turned away for hemming and was quoted 200,000 VND for three T-shirts, then paid 100,000 VND at a market tailor nearby.
- The shop is plainer than the bigger tailors on the busy streets; several reviewers say not to judge it by that.
