Before you order at Bambou Silk Tailor Hoi An (Tea's)
- The shop is on Tran Hung Dao, outside the pedestrian zone, so a car or scooter can drop you at the door.
- Ask which fabrics will shrink before you choose: Tea told one customer the cheaper linen blends shrink in the wash and the dearer ones do not, which is why prices differ.
- They work with fabric you bring: one customer had jackets made from their own fleece and flannel and a suit from their own satin after another tailor had turned the job down.
- If a Grab or hotel driver suggests this shop, the driver may well be family: four reviewers were sent here by a relative of the owner.
- Staying in Da Nang is not a problem: one customer says they deliver there for a small fee.
