Your Rancho Santa Margarita Tailor and Alterations Shop

Rancho Santa Margarita has the feel of a planned community that takes pride in the details, from the homes around RSM Lake to the storefronts at Plaza El Paseo and the quieter streets of Dove Canyon. When a jacket needs a cleaner line or a hem needs to land just right, residents want a tailor who treats their clothes with the same care. Walk-ins from Rancho Santa Margarita are welcome at Sami's in nearby San Juan Capistrano.

We are not a kiosk inside a department store or a chain that rotates staff every season. Sami's is a true family business, run by Sami, who does the work himself. You hand your garment to the person who will alter it, talk through exactly what you want, and get an honest answer about timing and price before anything is touched. Walk-ins from Rancho Santa Margarita are always welcome.

Our shop sits at 32301 Camino Capistrano, Ste E in San Juan Capistrano, about 20 minutes from most of Rancho Santa Margarita.

If you are on a tight deadline, an interview, a wedding, or an event this weekend, call ahead at (949) 493-0505 and ask about same-day service. We will tell you honestly whether your piece can be ready in time. Four decades of practice means we move quickly without ever cutting corners on the fit.

From most of Rancho Santa Margarita, the fastest way in is Ortega Highway (CA-74) and Del Obispo Street, then Camino Capistrano. The shop sits between Del Obispo Street and San Juan Creek Road.
