About us
Country Road Fashions is a family bespoke tailoring house in Bangkok, now in its third generation. Let us tell you how it began, and how it grew.
Chapter One: 1951
Our story begins in 1951, with our grandfather, Tourmal Chandnani. Long before the family had a shop in Thailand, he was cutting suits and shirts by hand, one client at a time.
He held to a simple principle: a tailor ought to know the person he is cutting for. His clients came back for a second garment, then a third, because they knew whose hands had made the first. That is the house he handed down.
Chapter Two: 1992
In 1992 our father took over the craft and opened the family's first shop in Thailand, in the heart of Bangkok. He brought his father's way of working with him: take the time to understand the client, then make the garment around them.
The shop grew the way good tailoring houses do, by word of mouth. One suit led to another, and one client brought the next.
Chapter Three: Clients for life
Over the years the shop came to dress a remarkable range of people: diplomats and embassy staff posted to Bangkok, business travellers passing through, and families who made the city their home. Many came in for a single suit and stayed for decades.
Our father knew them by name, remembered their preferences, and kept their measurements on file, so that a client could order again from wherever life took them next. Those relationships, built one fitting at a time, are the foundation the house still stands on.
The third generation
Now the third generation has stepped in. We are growing the house and taking it to a new level, with two rooms in Bangkok: the original in Pratunam and a second on Sukhumvit 31.
What has not changed is what our grandfather and our father built over the decades. Every garment is still cut for one person, by people who take the time to know them.
