SERVING LAGUNA BEACH
Laguna Beach Tailor and Alterations
A great wardrobe deserves a tailor worth the short coastal drive. Sami Abujudeh has spent 45 years fitting suits, dresses, and gowns for Orange County, working from his shop in nearby San Juan Capistrano. Walk-ins from Laguna Beach are welcome, with prices quoted before work begins.

SERVING LAGUNA BEACH
A coastal town with high standards
Laguna Beach has always cared about how things are made. It shows in the studios off PCH, in the work hung along Heisler Park, and in the way locals dress for a gallery opening or an evening by the coves. For alterations near Laguna Beach, bring your garment to our San Juan Capistrano shop to discuss the fit.
To be straight with you, we are not around the corner from Main Beach. Our shop sits in San Juan Capistrano, a little down the coast. We fit men, women, and children, work with any fabric, and welcome walk-ins.

THE DIFFERENCE

A true family shop
Sami does the work himself, so the person fitting your garment is the person sewing it.
Honest, clear pricing

Any fabric, any garment
From silk gowns to denim and wool suiting, we work with whatever you bring through the door.
Rush help when it counts
Same-day options for events that cannot wait, so a coastal celebration is never held up by a hem.
