Expat Living - A big year for this Singapore bespoke tailor

From a modest zinc-roofed shophouse in Geylang to its prestigious atelier in the Pan Pacific Singapore and now a chic new home at Boat Quay, Meiko Tailor embodies a timeless story of craftsmanship, family, and reinvention. Founded by master tailor Chung Chi Kwong in 1977, this heritage brand has spanned five decades, with his daughter Adele Chung now helping to steer its future with fresh vision and purpose.

This feature explores not only the couple behind Meiko Tailor, Chi Kwong and his wife, whose name inspired the brand, but also the philosophy that’s kept Meiko rooted in bespoke tradition, even as they launch Uncommon Hem, a modern, design-driven sub-label made from upcycled luxury fabrics.
