MTM or Bespoke in Mauritius

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
Heading to Mautrius in December for a month with the family.

Last time I was there 10+ years ago my father got some suits made but neither of us were in a position to make a judgement on the quality of the work.

I've love some recommendations from anyone who has been. There is a little bit floating about on the net but nothing from anywhere reputable. This would be my first step in bespoke so while I am very confident in what I want, I would ideally like to speak to a tailor who has some skill. I don't want to spend 4 weeks being shouted at by a man who keeps telling me that the tent he made is actually a suit.

Thanks for any suggestions!

You know, I've been there a few times, and never really looked into any tailoring there (too busy enjoying the beach, I guess).

 

Having said that, I believe Wensum have their factory there (they do MTM for lots of people, inc. Ede & Ravenscroft, which is how I know of them). I wonder if they accept walk-ins? :)

Mauritius has many clothing factories
most of the labor is imported from India.
I almost set up a made to measure shirt factory there.
there is good labor there! but can't make any suggestions

There is definitely a great manufacturing industry there, I've heard rumours that there is a bit of RLPL produced there.

Looking online there appear to be several hundred small tailors, particularly down by the waterfront shopping centre. At this stage I think I'm going to speak to the concierge on my credit card (and maybe the hotel)

I've been there once, and spent a good amount of time at the Intercontinental, which is a fabulous hotel. I also went with some friends on a Catamaran to Gabriel Island, where we snorkled and bbq'd right on the boat. Enjoy the most beautiful place on earth and worry about suits when you get back!
