A Conversation with the Founder: The Vision of Bringing World-Class Tailoring to Saigon

In the bustling streets of District 1, amidst the rapid modernization of Ho Chi Minh City, there are still quiet corners where time seems to slow down. One such place is the showroom of DuanTailor. Here, the focus shifts from speed to precision, from the ephemeral to the eternal. Behind this sanctuary of style is a man with a singular vision: to prove that Vietnamese craftsmanship can rival the best of Savile Row or Naples.

We sat down with the founder of DuanTailor to discuss the philosophy behind the brand, the challenges of maintaining high standards, and why he believes Saigon is the next big capital on the global sartorial map.

Defining the “Perfect” Suit

Interviewer: In a city filled with tailor shops, how do you define a truly “perfect” suit?

Founder: “Perfection, to me, is invisible. When a client wears a perfect suit, you don’t notice the stitching or the fabric first; you notice the man. You see his confidence. A perfect suit should never fight against the body; it should move with it. It is a harmony between the cloth, the cut, and the character of the wearer. That is what we strive for with every commission.”

The Pursuit of Excellence

Interviewer: Many travelers come here looking for the best tailor in Vietnam. What does that title mean to you?

Founder: “It is a heavy responsibility. Being the ‘best’ isn’t about being the most expensive or the most famous. It is about consistency. It means that whether a client orders a simple linen shirt or a tuxedo for their wedding, the attention to detail is identical. We don’t cut corners on the inside of the jacket just because the customer can’t see it. True quality is what happens when no one is looking.”

Bridging Tradition and Modernity

The founder’s journey hasn’t been without its challenges. Bringing world-class fabrics and techniques to a market often driven by low prices required courage. He speaks passionately about educating clients on the value of a full-canvas construction—the ‘skeleton’ of a suit that gives it shape and longevity.

“We are not just selling clothes; we are sharing a culture,” he explains. “When a client understands why we hand-stitch a lapel or why we use horn buttons, they appreciate the garment more. It becomes personal.”

The DuanTailor Difference

Every brand has a story. For DuanTailor, it is a narrative of relentless improvement. The founder’s brand story is woven into every garment that leaves the shop. It is a commitment to refusing mediocrity.

Founder: “My dream is that when people talk about great tailoring, they mention Saigon in the same breath as London or Milan. We have the hands, we have the heart, and now we have the materials. The world is starting to notice.”

Conclusion

Meeting the man behind the brand reveals why DuanTailor has garnered such a loyal following. It is not just a business; it is a vocation. For the gentleman seeking more than just a transaction, a visit to DuanTailor offers a glimpse into the future of Vietnamese luxury—one stitch at a time.
