SERVING LAGUNA BEACH
Laguna Beach Tailor and Alterations
A great wardrobe deserves a tailor worth the short coastal drive. Sami Abujudeh and his son have spent more than 40 years fitting suits, dresses, and gowns for Orange County, working from their shop in nearby San Juan Capistrano. Many Laguna Beach clients make the trip happily, because a careful hand and an honest quote are hard to find closer to the galleries on Pacific Coast Highway.
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. That eye for craft is exactly why people here look beyond the chain alteration counters and seek out a tailor who treats each garment as its own small project. We are glad to be that shop for Laguna Beach.
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. What we hear from Laguna Beach clients again and again is that the drive is worth it. They would rather hand a wedding gown or a favorite blazer to someone with four decades of practice than gamble on whoever happens to be closest. We fit men, women, and children, work with any fabric, and welcome walk-ins.

DIRECTIONS
Getting here from Laguna Beach
The trip is more scenic than tedious. From the heart of Laguna Beach it is a straightforward drive of about 20 to 25 minutes, depending on traffic and time of day. You have two pleasant routes. Follow Pacific Coast Highway south along the water through the coves and South Laguna, then connect toward San Juan Capistrano. Or cut inland on Laguna Canyon Road to the freeway and drop down to our exit. Either way you end up at 32301 Camino Capistrano, Ste E.
Plenty of clients fold the visit into an errand run or a day out, dropping a garment off, exploring the historic downtown, and swinging back for the fitting. We are open Monday through Friday from 10:00am to 5:00pm and Saturday from 10:00am to 3:00pm, closed Sunday. A quick call to (949) 493-0505 before you head over helps us have everything ready for you.
