Shenzhen Tailoring in China
One of the best things about your shopping experience with Retail Therapy Asia is having clothes made by the tailor.
You can have clothes tailored for a fraction of the price charged anywhere in the western world. Getting the finished product can take a few days with a couple of try on’s to get a perfect fit.
The LouHu Commercial Centre Shopping Mall in Shenzhen is overrun with tiny little shop fronts that house custom tailors. Stools scatter the linoleum corridors, ready for you to sit with your newly found tailor and talk about what you want made.
Tailoring in Shenzhen is one-third the price of tailoring in Hong Kong, which is one-third the price of tailoring in America and Europe. This is because most of the Hong Kong shops outsource their work to Shenzhen’s many clothing factories anyway. Furthermore, the male-driven suit craze down in Tsim Sha Tsui does nothing for fashionistas in search of custom-made treasures; in fact, there are plenty of complaints of Hong Kong tailors creating women’s suits that are too boxy and indelicate for a woman’s curved frame. In Shenzhen, however, there are plenty of female tailors who are astute businesswomen specialising in women’s fashion.
