For over a decade, Lyn Dry Cleaners has been the go-to garment shop on Victoria Street. Two people, a beautifully old-fashioned attention to detail, and a customer book that goes back generations.
Walk in and you're greeted by name. Lyn — who's been running the front of house since the beginning — has the rare gift of remembering not only her customers, but the garments they've trusted her with over the years.
“Sweet little lady who greets you by your first name and knows your clothing even without the docket,” one regular wrote. That's a fair summary of how this place works.
It's not just a service — it's a relationship. And the proof is in the customers who've been returning for ten, fifteen, twenty years.
Behind the alterations side of the shop is Tai, a master tailor whose work has earned him a quiet but devoted following across Melbourne. From shortening the sleeves of a wool blazer to mending a hand-sequined evening dress that came apart in three places, nothing is too hard.
Customers leave reviews like “Tai is the best” and “I'd drive the other side of town to come here” — the kind of praise that takes years of careful work to earn.
Whether it's a same-day hem on your suit pants or a careful re-lining of a coat you've owned for a decade, you're in good hands.
We treat every garment as if it were our own — because the woman who owns it has trusted us with it.
Every alteration is hand-finished. Every press is checked. Every stain is treated before it's cleaned, not after.
We're a neighbourhood shop. We know your street, your office, your wedding date, your child's school formal. That matters.
Pop in to 353 Victoria Street whenever you're passing — or call ahead if you've got something special.
