    Tailored Experience

    Hoi An is known for its tailor shops. It’s pretty popular amongst tourists and there are blocks and blocks of shops devoted to the trade. The general idea is, you show up with either your own idea or look through Pinterest when you arrive, choose your material, get your measurements…

    Hoi An
