Seaming progress to an old trade
Fong Loo Fern, the third generation to run the CYC family business, sees to it that the tailoring outfit moves with the times.
A QUICK look into the windows of CYC Custom Shop shows a bright and modern store, but a quaint, old sewing machine that sits proudly in the shop window hints at a longer history.
It was the very first sewing machine used at the 82-year-old tailoring outfit.
CYC is one of Singapore's oldest tailors, originally opened as CYC Shanghai Shirt Company.
