Tiño Suits & Tailoring

Tiño Suits & Tailoring traces its roots to a family tailoring tradition the Arienza family has run since the 1960s. Its present form centers on Napoleon Arienza, a tailor born in Tarlac who trained at the House of Brioni in Rome before returning to the Philippines to continue the family trade. In the 1990s, while working under the Brioni name, Arienza made a suit for Pierce Brosnan around the period the actor took on the role of James Bond — a commission still cited as a marker of the house's technical standing. Arienza opened the current Makati shop in 2012, at the Herco Center on Benavidez Street in Legazpi Village, stocking premium cloth including Holland & Sherry suiting from London. The shop positions itself as one of Manila's bespoke houses working in classic construction rather than made-to-measure production lines, continuing the hand-tailoring practice the family has kept since the shop's mid-century start.
