    WHERE TO GET CUSTOM CLOTHING MADE IN SHENZHEN - THE TAILORS?

    Custom Clothing And Fabric Market: 5th Floor @ Louwu Commercial City

    Shenzhen's got a ton of great spots for custom clothes. Luohu is loaded with tailor shops catering to locals and folks from out of town. You can find everything from high-end custom suits and dresses to unique streetwear designs. The cool thing is, the prices are super reasonable and the turnaround is fast. The artisans in Shenzhen know their stuff, so whether you want a bespoke look or just something one-of-a-kind, this city is the place to get your custom clothing game on point.

    How it works?

    • You select your tailor, you will share with them what you are looking to create (either photos or copy clothing you have and bring along).  They will then take you around the fabric market where you can select your fabric for each creation.  You will then get measured for each piece of clothing.  They will give you the total (you will pay - cash or credit card) and they can deliver it to your door in Hong Kong!

    What Little Steps team use the tailors for exactly?

    • Special occasion dresses - proms/weddings/and special occasions.
    • Maternity Clothing - they can create a whole wardrobe
    • Teens Day Out - We have taken Little Steps teens for a custom shopping day and it's an absolute blast!

    A few recommended tailors in Louwu for custom clothing:

    • Molly: Shop 5066, 5F Louwu Commercial  City, Shenzhen
    • Betty, #5082
    • Jay, #3075
    Tips Recommendation
    Time Allocation Set aside enough time for at least 1-2 fittings.
    Clothing Reference Save images of the clothes you want to your phone, including finer details.
    Item Complexity The simpler the item, the better. Shopkeepers may be reluctant to do highly detailed work and may try to increase the price. Copy clothing is usually very easy and we prefer this over new creations.  We recommend clothing that is easy to copy (crochet or funky embroidery is hard).
    Fabric Source There are loads of fabrics in the fabric market or bring your fabric to ensure quality and personalization.
    Negotiation Bargain! Start at about half of the merchant's initial asking price and gradually work your way up. Make sure you get the pricing upfront as everything moves quickly.  You will pay for fabric and the tailoring so some fabric is more expensive than others - be sure to ask!
    Measurements Keep track of your measurements. You can make any final adjustments with a local tailor in your home country.
  • WHERE TO GET CUSTOM CURTAINS AND LINENS MADE IN SHENZHEN?

    Custom Curtains And Linens: 4th Floor @ Louwu Commercial City

    Attention all window decor enthusiasts! Are you tired of generic, off-the-shelf window treatments or super expensive options in Hong Kong? Then it's time to explore the hidden gem of Shenzhen, China, for your curtain shopping needs.

    What can you buy?

    • The Little Steps team has made multiple trips to Shenzhen to purchase curtains. On one occasion, they were outfitting a house, and the cost for a similar setup in Hong Kong would have been double. Another time, they needed a custom-fitted curtain for an oddly shaped window. Some customers also visit Shenzhen to get custom-made blackout blinds to complement their existing curtain sets.
    • They also offer linens, bedding, and just about everything you need for the home!

    How it works for buying curtains in Shenzhen?

    • Before your trip, make sure to measure every window in advance. When you arrive at the shops in Luohu, you can present the measurements and select the fabrics and fittings that suit your needs. You can either pick up your curtains within an hour or have them delivered to your door in Hong Kong. The shops also offer installation services, making the process seamless.
