About us
KATIPO TAILORING is previously known as Toppers Tailoring.
Toppers Tailoring (now, Katipo Tailoring) opened its first branch in Katipunan Quezon City
in 1970 by Mr “Jun”Castro. It is there that he met his wife, Mer.
They started their small tailoring shop with just 5 square meters
of space and 5,000 pesos seed capital, just enough to buy some
threads and fabrics. Mang Jun, as his customer would always call
him, is a hard working person. He was just 19 years old when he
first opened Toppers.
He worked earnestly knowing that his perseverance and patience
would pay off. He started working on jeans and pants. Because of
the quality and affordability his shop grew. He started making
uniform sets, polo shirts, slacks, and Barong tagalong. They also
accepted alteration-while-you-wait services.
On the other hand, Mang Jun’s wife, Mer, worked on female clothing
line such as dresses, blouses, skirts, and gowns. The couple
custom-made a wide range of clothes. Their customers would
sometimes go to the shop with their magazines and own designs.
Toppers tailoring would make a version of whatever clothing style
the customer wants. A few years later, the couple opened their
garments shop at Marikina City. Their garments factory catered to
several branded clothing lines such as Colours, Freego, and Jag
Jeans. They handled and managed 20 plus tailors and dress makers.
Moreover, they were able to open their second tailoring store
branch at Katipunan Street in Marikina City. The same services are
being offered in their second branch.
A few years back, Mang Jun ventured on another line of clothing
which is suits and coats. Truly, because of the very affordable
price of this new range of clothing, many people would avail
several pairs of suits. Even celebrities and foreigners would come
and visit the meek shop at Katipunan Street just to have a
Toppers-branded suit. Mang Jun and his wife have provided uniforms
to several companies and schools like Miescor, Meralco, Aquamarine,

The couple have also made several coats and pants for celebrities
like Raymart Santiago, Yael of Spongecola, Maverick, Cheska Garcia,
and many more. After 42+ years of excellent service, Toppers
Tailoring has endured and managed to continue making clothes for
local and foreign customers. If you can style it, Toppers Tailoring
can make it for you. show more
