This bespoke tailor is one of Singapore’s best-kept secrets - SilverKris
"A long-standing, family-run bespoke tailoring atelier located within the Pan Pacific Hotel, founded in the 1970s by Master Chung Chi Kwong, who began honing his craft at 17. The business survived early setbacks including a workshop fire and a move from Geylang to Kovan before becoming an anchor tenant at the hotel, where its clientele historically included many expats and business travellers. Known for exacting, traditional craftsmanship, each suit is individually cut and sewn with full-canvas interfacing for superior drape, and consultations can span hours to ensure fit, fabric choice, linings, lapels and personalised details (clients even request bespoke embroidery). During the Covid-19 downturn the atelier pivoted to production and community support—making and donating over 6,000 fabric masks—and leveraged that momentum to sustain orders; since 2018 the founder’s daughter has been modernising operations with digital marketing and 3D body-measurement technology to serve global clients. The atelier combines time-honoured tailoring techniques with new services and product lines (including womenswear and smart-casual menswear) while emphasising personalised service and meticulous hand-finishing." - Ink Creative Studios
