How It Started
From "Almost" to Perfect
Like many, our founder Angel was tired of the “almost” — clothes that almost fit, almost the right color, almost the right design.
In 2008, she began working with Shanghai’s master tailors to solve it for herself. In 2015, Hire A Tailor was born — a world where your clothes are no longer a compromise, but a perfect expression of you.
