Your business trip is only three days in Saigon, or your holiday has just one free afternoon around Ben Thanh Market. You want to squeeze in a suit, but you don't know where to go that is close and convenient, or whether you need to book ahead. For a suit tailor near Ben Thanh Market, Mon Amie has two showrooms in the city centre to choose from, and can also bring a tailor to your hotel.
Quick answer
Near Ben Thanh Market, you can go to the Caravelle Hotel showroom (19–23 Công trường Lam Sơn) or the Nguyễn Trãi showroom (357 Nguyễn Trãi). Both are open from 8:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. daily. You should call ahead to book, or arrange for a tailor to measure you at your hotel if your schedule is too tight.
Suit tailor near Ben Thanh Market: which showroom is nearest
The two addresses below are in the central area; by ride-hailing from Ben Thanh Market it is usually a short trip, depending on rush hour.
| Showroom | Address | Opening hours | Phone | Suited to |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Caravelle Hotel (flagship showroom) | Caravelle Hotel, 19–23 Công trường Lam Sơn, Sài Gòn Ward, Ho Chi Minh City | 8:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. daily | 0898.111.113 | Guests staying at central hotels, international guests, those who want the full experience |
| Nguyễn Trãi | 357 Nguyễn Trãi, An Đông Ward, Ho Chi Minh City | 8:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. daily | 0888.111.118 | Guests travelling by private car or ride-hailing who want an address that is easy to find |
Besides these two addresses, Mon Amie also has the Hồ Văn Huê, Đường 3/2 and Nguyễn Thị Thập showrooms; you can see the full list of 5 showrooms if your route passes through those areas.
Caravelle showroom: the full experience
Caravelle is Mon Amie's flagship showroom, located right inside the Caravelle Hotel, in the Lam Sơn Square area. If you are staying at a hotel around the centre, this is usually the most convenient place to go. There you can meet a stylist and master tailor, view cloth in the library of Italian and English fabrics, have more than 30 measurements taken under the bespoke process, and have a baste fitting.
Nguyễn Trãi showroom: a choice on your way
The Nguyễn Trãi showroom sits on a major road and suits those who travel by private car or ride-hailing and want an address that is easy to find. The opening hours are the same as Caravelle, so you can drop in during the evening after finishing your working schedule. This showroom's phone number is also Mon Amie's shared hotline (0888.111.118), which is convenient if you use Zalo.
Which showroom to choose for your itinerary
If you are still undecided between the two addresses, you can choose by specific situation:
| Situation | Suggestion |
|---|---|
| Staying at a hotel around the centre, want the fullest experience | Caravelle Hotel |
| Finishing work late, want to drop in during the evening | Both showrooms are open until 9:00 p.m. |
| Travelling by private car or ride-hailing, need an address that is easy to remember | Nguyễn Trãi |
| Schedule too tight to visit a showroom | Book a fitting at your hotel |
| Already measured, live far away, want another suit | Online made-to-measure with your saved measurements |
Wherever you choose, you will meet a stylist and master tailor under the same Mon Amie made-to-measure process.
Book ahead: why you should
The showrooms are open every day, but you should book so that a stylist and master tailor set aside time for you, especially for guests on a short itinerary. One call or Zalo message to the showroom you plan to visit is enough. When booking, tell them four things in advance:
- The date you leave Saigon or the date you need the suit.
- The occasion: a conference, a wedding, daily work, or simply wanting a made-to-measure suit.
- Your budget or the cloth line you are interested in (Essential, Signature or Heritage).
- The hotel you are staying at, if you want to ask about an on-site fitting.
You can also book a measuring appointment directly on Mon Amie's website.
Can't make it to a showroom: a fitting at your hotel
If your schedule is full from morning to night, the home tailoring service may be the answer. The Mon Amie team comes to your home, office or hotel within Ho Chi Minh City, bringing a curated set of cloth swatches and a measuring tape. You can choose cloth and be measured right in your hotel room, which suits business travellers well.
To make a hotel appointment go smoothly, choose a room with a large window so that you can see the cloth colour in daylight, have ready the shirt and shoes you will wear with the suit, and tell reception in advance that a visitor will be coming up.
If you are in Saigon for only a few days
The time needed to complete a suit depends on the cloth, the style and the number of fittings, so the sensible thing is to tell the stylist plainly on the very first call: how long you are staying and which day you fly. From there the stylist will advise a suitable plan. There is another flexible route if you cannot wait to collect the suit on this trip: Mon Amie offers an online made-to-measure service, delivering nationwide and internationally. You are measured in person once in Saigon, and later orders can be handled remotely by video call, using your saved measurements.
Tips from Mon Amie's master tailors for tourists and business travellers
- Bring a shirt and the shoes you plan to wear with the suit. The trouser hem and sleeves will be calculated more accurately.
- Arrive half an hour early if you can. Choosing cloth takes unhurried time, especially for first-time made-to-measure clients.
- Think about the occasion in advance. The cloth for a conference in an air-conditioned room is very different from cloth for an outdoor wedding in Vietnam, even for the same suit.
- Ask for guidance on folding a suit for the plane. A suit has to be folded properly, or carried in a garment bag, so that it does not crease on the journey.
- Don't choose cloth that is too heavy if you are taking the suit home to a warm climate, and vice versa.
