What customers say about Blue Gecko Tailor Hoi An
Excellent experience from start to finish! The quality of the traditional Vietnamese outfits is outstanding, with great attention to detail and beautiful fabrics.
Great experience and great suit! I got 3 linen shirts as well! I went in to 5 total shops and felt like I was in an assembly line until I walked in here where I could actually speak to someone that would listen to what I wanted, not what they thought I should get. Highly recommend.

Before you order at Blue Gecko Tailor Hoi An
- If you pay extra for silk, ask how the fabric is labelled before you commit: two reviewers were told a fabric was silk and found it was not, and one of them got a partial refund from the owner.
- Orders can be made from abroad: one customer in Singapore ordered two suits online, took the measurements at home with Thuy's guidance and had them within 7 days.
- Thuy has replicated designs from photos and measurements alone, for family members who never came to the shop.
- One reviewer reports that the sewing is not done in the shop: at the first fitting the dresses took about 15 minutes to be brought in.
- If some pieces are not ready before you leave Hoi An, ask about shipping: one couple had the unfinished items sent on to Ho Chi Minh City.
