about

Shopboy is a tailoring shop offering a full range of alterations services from basic hems to work on handmade garments. With expert tailors, experienced specialists and a comfortable space, Shopboy brings the first refined tailoring option to New York City.

Shopboy was founded in the fall of 2017 by Desmond Brooks and Kendall Khanna. Inspired by their goal to redefine the tailoring industry, the couple envisioned an environment where fashion and hospitality could come together while still providing a basic and useful service. With Desmond’s background in luxury fashion and Kendall’s in wellness consulting and brand development, they both have a passion for encouraging confidence and growth in clients through everyday avenues like fashion and wellness.

At Shopboy, the mission is to help each customer look and feel their best in everything from streetwear and denim to dresses, suits and tuxedos by offering a comfortable space for alterations and garment repairs. Unlike other tailor shops, the specialists at Shopboy encourage customers to think more creatively about their style and about how tailoring can transform not only their wardrobe, but their overall approach to a confident life.
