About
Thread Theory
Thread Theory began with a dream—some 25 years ago when we left everything to immigrate to the U.S. What started as quiet hopes has now become something tangible: a modern tailoring studio built on family, resilience, and craftsmanship.
As a mother-daughter team, this shop is more than a business—it’s a celebration of what we’ve carried with us across generations and oceans. After decades of sewing for her community, Mom finally has the space to share her talents on her own terms. And as her daughter, I’m proud to bring my business background into the fold to help bring that vision to life.
We opened Thread Theory in Mountain View, with over 30 years of expertise in professional alterations and custom tailoring, to create something thoughtful, creative, and deeply personal—a place where garments are treated with care, clients are treated with kindness, and every piece tells a story.
We’d love to help you create the perfect fit. Get in touch to start your tailoring journey.
