House of Parmar

The Gate, DIFC · Since 1956

House of Parmar is the family firm Khaleej Times calls Dubai's oldest bespoke suit maker, and its DIFC atelier, trading simply as Bespoke, is where it makes suits from an individual pattern. Pitamber Parmar sailed from Bombay in June 1956, aged 23, and opened a tailor's shop in Bur Dubai; his youngest son, Prakash, joined in 1986 and now runs the group as chief executive. The made-to-measure business, Parmar Tailors, trades on Al Fahidi Street and in JLT. Bespoke, opened at The Gate in 2006, takes each client through a basted fitting in trial fabric, a forward fitting and a final fitting, in about four weeks. It suits residents who want a Savile Row-style process at Dubai speed, from a firm with seven decades in the city.

  • Founded in Bur Dubai in 1956 by Pitamber Parmar, a tailor from Bombay
  • Bespoke atelier at The Gate, DIFC, since 2006
  • Basted fitting in trial fabric, then forward and final fittings, in about four weeks

Knights & Lords

Sheikh Zayed Road, Umm Al Sheif · Since 2010

Knights & Lords is a Dubai bespoke tailor run by two brothers who say they learned the trade on Savile Row. Pawan Ishwar told Esquire Middle East in 2015 that he spent five years at Norton & Sons, and Ashish Ishwar seven at Davies & Son. They founded the business in 2010, measure clients and cut every pattern themselves, and work with a team of about 15 sewers; their father and grandfather ran Al Sharif, an Abu Dhabi maker of hotel uniforms. Esquire put the handwork at about 70 percent of each suit, well above most Dubai tailors, and its own price list starts at $550 for a bespoke two-piece suit (2026). It suits men who want an English-trained bespoke suit at a moderate Dubai price.

  • Founders trained at Norton & Sons and Davies & Son, by their own account
  • The brothers measure each client and cut every pattern themselves
  • About 70 percent of each suit made by hand (Esquire Middle East, 2015)

How we rank

We judge every tailor on four things: the cut and construction, the fit and the fittings, the service, and its reputation over time. We draw on each tailor's history and published reviews, and our critics visit as clients, commissioning and wearing the work themselves. We update each list once a year.

The arithmetic

How a score is built

A tailor that scores 9 for cut, 8 for fit, 9 for reputation and 7 for service earns 84 out of 100. Scores decide the order within each city; they are not compared across cities, because a Savile Row suit and a Dubai suit answer different needs and budgets. Every tailor in Dubai is scored the same way.

  • Cut and construction × 35%9 / 10
  • Fit and fittings × 30%8 / 10
  • Reputation over time × 20%9 / 10
  • Service × 15%7 / 10

Bespoke in Dubai: your questions

How much does a suit cost in Dubai?

Far less than in London, though few tailors publish prices. Collars & Cuffs lists bespoke suits from $850 and The White Stripes entry bespoke from $750 (2026); Knights & Lords lists bespoke suits from $550 (2026), and Parmar's Bespoke started at about $1,100 in 2015. Luxury-brand made-to-measure costs several times more: about $10,000 for Brioni in 2023.

How long does a suit take in Dubai?

Two to six weeks at the tailors on this list. Santoba quotes 10 to 14 days, Collars & Cuffs about three weeks and Parmar's Bespoke about four, while M2M suggests six to eight weeks, and three to four months for a wedding suit. Neighborhood tailors in Bur Dubai and Satwa can work in days; allow at least three to four days and two fittings.

Can I get a suit made during a short visit to Dubai?

Yes, if you order early in the trip. Do not leave it to the end of a visit: a good suit needs at least three to four days and two fittings. The White Stripes says it can fit visitors twice within seven days, and Santoba offers an express service of five to seven days. For bespoke with three fittings, plan a return visit or ask whether the tailor will ship the finished suit.

Can visitors reclaim UAE VAT on a suit?

Often, if the tailor is registered with Planet, which runs the UAE's tourist refund scheme. Visitors aged 18 or over who live outside the UAE can reclaim the 5% VAT on purchases of at least $70 taken out of the country within 90 days of the invoice. Validate the purchase at a Planet counter or kiosk before checking in, with the suit in your luggage, and leave within six hours. The refund is 87 percent of the VAT minus a small fee per transaction, about $35 on a $800 suit. Many small tailors are not registered, so ask before ordering.

Do I need an appointment?

For the ateliers, yes. Knights & Lords sees clients by appointment, and Bespoke, M2M and the luxury houses in The Dubai Mall take bookings by phone or online. Collars & Cuffs and The White Stripes will also measure and fit clients at home or in the office.

What is the difference between bespoke and made-to-measure in Dubai?

Many Dubai shops use bespoke for any suit made to order. Strictly, bespoke means a pattern drafted for you alone, a canvassed jacket made largely by hand and several fittings; made-to-measure adjusts a standard pattern and can be ready in days. Ask whether a pattern will be cut for you, whether the jacket is canvassed and how many fittings are included.
