About

A Top-Rated Tailor in Toronto Harbourfront

True North Tailor was founded by Farida and Mohamed to bring expert tailoring, alterations, dry cleaning, and custom clothing to Toronto Harbourfront with a more personal standard of service. With more than 40 years of tailoring experience and a strong reputation for warmth, quality, and care, they have created a welcoming space loved by the local community.

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.

With more than 40 years of tailoring experience and a strong commitment to personal service, they have built a business where expert workmanship and genuine kindness go hand in hand.

What Makes True North Tailor Different

True North Tailor combines expert tailoring, thoughtful garment care, and genuine customer service in one welcoming space in Toronto Harbourfront. Customers come for alterations, dry cleaning, and custom clothing, but they return for the warmth, attention to detail, and personal care that Farida and Mohamed bring to every interaction.

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.

Warm and Personal Service

Farida and Mohamed have created a welcoming environment where customers feel heard, respected, and genuinely cared for. That personal experience is one of the reasons the business is quickly becoming a trusted name in Toronto Harbourfront.

More Than Tailoring

True North Tailor was created to be more than a place for alterations and garment care. We wanted to build a welcoming space that reflects who we are: open-minded, kind, and community-focused. Our goal is to make every customer feel comfortable, respected, and genuinely cared for from the moment they walk in.

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.

True North Tailor is the best place to get alterations done in the Harbourfront. They’ve always done a tremendous job on my alterations and their prices are very reasonable. Most of all the owners, are unbelievably kind and friendly and are the kind of people you feel good about supporting.

I had a wonderful experience with True North Tailor! They were able to repair my hat in record time. Not only were they willing to take on the challenge, they were courteous & provided top tier customer service. I will definitely be using their services again. I would highly recommend True North Tailor for your tailoring, sewing or hat repair needs.
