Our business
Marzotto Tailor owned by Mr.Tanonchai Preedavijitkul is the result of combining knowledge and expertise for the sake of serving you even better. We celebrated the opening of our new shop in 1990, where we have been working ever since.
Quality
We place tremendous importance on traditional quality and craftsmanship. Our employees know their trade and will be able to offer you the finest product possible.
Mr.Tanonchai completed additional training in Japan and his shop earned a certificate of approval from Thailand’s Thai Tailor Association, which is one of the few organisations of its kind that is officially recognised by the Thai government. The certificate is only awarded to tailors who meet stringent craftsmanship requirements. There are only about fifty tailoring businesses in Bangkok that have been awarded this distinction.
Recommended tailor in Thailand
Marzotto Tailor is listed in the Lonely Planet Thailand (7th edition, 1999) and in the Rough Guide to Bangkok (2004-2011). Naturally we hope to receive similar recognition by delivering outstanding quality and excellent service.
We have an extensive clientele with many regular customers who return to us time and time again for new orders. We welcome lots of tourists to our shop, along with expats and employees of various embassies in Bangkok. Our clientele has expanded further as a result of our travels to the Netherlands.
Visits to the Netherlands
Generally speaking we visit the Netherlands every year, usually twice. This gives you the opportunity to discuss all of your questions, wishes and any complaints with us in person. If you are not satisfied in any way with an item of clothing that you have purchased from us, we will solve the problem with your input. Customer satisfaction means a great deal to us. Depending on demand, we are also willing to travel to other countries.
Finding a good tailor
It is not easy to find a good tailor when visiting Thailand. There are hundreds in Bangkok alone, perhaps even thousands. Some tailoring businesses in Thailand wave all sorts of documents of acknowledgement, certificates of appreciation, awards and more, the exact value of which is difficult for foreigners to determine. In many cases, these pieces of paper or commemorative plaques are worthless and designed purely to lure customers into the shop. In some cases they do actually mean something.
Another phenomenon amongst the countless competitors are special offers that sound too good to be true, such as two suits, two shirts, a safari outfit and a tie for one ridiculously low price. The catch is that the price only applies to the cheapest fabric, which also happens to be very poor quality, and that the customer must pay extra for better quality fabric. Even then he may arrive home to find his suit unravelling. What seemed like a steal is actually a waste of money. If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is.
Good quality fabrics, excellent craftsmanship and a decent price are important. Together they ensure that you will enjoy outstanding made-to-measure clothing for years, for the price of an off-the-peg suit.
Of course there are many good tailoring establishments in Thailand. We recommend that you do plenty of research at home in order to be able to make an informed decision should you decide to purchase made-to-measure clothing once you are in Thailand. That way you will avoid throwing good money down the drain.
