How much does a suit cost at Chiba Boutique?
Prices at Chiba Boutique are quoted in VND, clearly marked and not open to bargaining. One four-star reviewer says a friend's tailored linen outfit cost about 700,000 VND, though that was 3 years before the review.

How long does Chiba Boutique take?
Simple pieces at Chiba Boutique are quick: a linen dress in 24 hours, two dresses copied from a photo in 3 to 4 hours, shorts overnight. Hand-embroidered work takes longer. An embroidered blouse and dress took two days, and a three-piece embroidered linen suit estimated at 3 days ran half a day over, so leave a spare day for anything embroidered.
There is usually one fitting at pickup, and staff start any amendments without being asked, at no extra cost. Finished pieces have been couriered to hotels in Da Nang more than once. No reviewer mentions shipping abroad.

What customers say about Chiba Boutique
The custom tailoring is very detailed and beautifully made. All patterns are entirely hand-embroidered, with high-quality, breathable fabrics. The consultation is attentive and friendly, and the prices are reasonable. A place you should visit when you come to Hoi An.

Who Chiba Boutique is best for
Chiba Boutique suits couples, solo travelers, groups and families who want linen, silk or cotton clothes with hand embroidery: dresses, blouses, shirts, jackets, suits, ao dai and even wedding dresses, or a copy of a garment you bring. Reviewers tired of being called into shops find it a relief, since staff let you browse and take your time.
It is not the place for an embroidered order on your last day. Read the complaints above, including one review that describes three visits in a day with the fit still wrong. If you want to plan pieces before arriving, one reviewer arranged an order on Instagram weeks ahead.

Before you order at Chiba Boutique
- Prices are quoted in Vietnamese dong rather than US dollars, and they are fixed; one reviewer notes you cannot negotiate.
- Bring an idea for embroidery and the owner will draw a design from it to be stitched onto your piece.
- Embroidery adds time. One embroidered three-piece linen suit was estimated at 3 days and needed half a day more.
- If you are moving on to Da Nang, they send things to your hotel there: one customer had three more dresses delivered, and another had a chain left in the shop brought the next morning at no charge.
- Ask about lining on light linen. One customer found an unlined piece see-through, while a linen suit with cotton lining was not.
