MASTER TAILOR
Albert Lam
NYC Chinatown, Since 1978
HERITAGE
A Legacy Woven
Into Every Stitch
Albert Lam emigrated from Hong Kong to New York City's Chinatown in the late 1970s. He apprenticed with an Italian master tailor, learning the craft while working at a local garment factory to support his family.
In 1978, Albert and his wife opened their tailor shop on Lafayette Street. For over 40 years, they worked seven days a week, building a business through word of mouth — serving the community during the most memorable moments in the circle of life.
Their dedication attracted notable clients, including former NYC Mayor David Dinkins and Pastor Calvin Butts, who were Albert's friends for over 40 years, as well as comedian Ronny Chieng, who calls Albert his favorite tailor in NYC. Watch this video to learn more.
"Chinatown is an essential part of my life, as well as thousands of New Yorkers from all backgrounds, colors, creeds, and walks of life."
— ALBERT LAM
