A La Jolla Institution

Kiki Spounias learned the art of tailoring as a young girl growing up in Greece. When she brought her craft to America, she opened a small alteration shop on Herschel Avenue in La Jolla Village — and over four decades later, it's become one of the most trusted names in San Diego tailoring. Featured in KPBS and recognized by San Diego Magazine's "Best of San Diego," Kiki's is a true hidden gem.

Today, Tammy Spounias carries on her mother's legacy with the same precision, warmth, and dedication to detail. Whether it's a couture wedding gown or your favorite pair of jeans, every garment receives the full attention it deserves. As Tammy puts it: "Clothes aren't going to mend themselves — it's a lost art."
