Meet Farida and Mohamed

True North Tailor was built by Farida and Mohamed as a husband-and-wife business rooted in craftsmanship, care, and community. For Farida, it is the continuation of a lifelong passion for tailoring, design, and dressmaking. For Mohamed, it is also a way of supporting that dream while helping create a business defined by professionalism, hospitality, and genuine customer care.

Expert Tailoring and Alterations

From everyday adjustments to detailed formalwear and special pieces, True North Tailor focuses on fit, finish, and craftsmanship that help every garment look and feel its best.

Thoughtful Garment Care

From dry cleaning to careful fabric handling, each piece is treated with attention, respect, and a focus on quality presentation, long-term wear, and garment integrity.

We are especially passionate about creating a space where women feel confident, supported, and empowered, reflecting our belief in the strength, potential, and value of women.

We also have a special love for animals, which is why True North Tailor is proudly pet-friendly, with treats, toys, and fresh water available for visiting pets. It is all part of creating a space that feels warm, inclusive, and truly personal.

This is one of the few places in the neighborhood that does exceptional work for reasonable prices. I was so happy with the finished outcome of my work blazer. It looks better than when I first bought it and was taken in, made to measure. Thank you so much Farida for your excellent craftsmanship.

This is already my third time going to her for alterations, and her work is always impeccable. She’s quick, everything is done perfectly, and I’m always happy with the results. I’m VERY picky when it comes to my clothes, so if I keep going back to her with a whole bunch of pieces every time, trust me, it’s because she’s that good! 😂🤍 I genuinely recommend her 100%.

Absolutely love my new curtains! 🤍 I highly recommend Farida for her beautiful work. My home decorator recommended an off-white/light beige colour, and I simply shared the colour idea with Farida. She and her husband went out of their way to find and purchase the perfect fabric for me, and Farida did an amazing job making the curtains. The workmanship is so neat, clean, and beautifully finished. They look elegant and fit my space perfectly. On top of the quality, her price was very reasonable. I’m so happy with the final result and would definitely recommend Farida to anyone looking for custom curtains. Thank you so much, Farida! ♥️✨

The quality and speed with which they handle their work is a tier above most other tailors I've been to. On top of this, their prices are exceedingly reasonable and the owners are charming conversationalists. A true local gem, and my new favourite tailor.
