His grandfather, Mr. Balbir Singh, learned the business fifty years ago in the northeast region of Thailand. In the late 1970s his father, Mr. B. Singh, opened a tailoring shop in Bangkok. The shop, called New Tajmahal Tailors, became one of the most well-known tailoring businesses in the city amongst wealthy travelers and expats.

Daniel Singh, the owner of Damanino, has served British aristocracy along with internationally renowned entertainment, sports and political figures – all of which have built a personal relationship with Dan and trust that he will create the perfect suit made just for them.

Dan has many fond memories of helping in his father’s store when he was growing up. A favorite was when a well-known Saudi Sheikh, who was a loyal customer and friend of his father’s, gave Dan a pair of precious scissors. He said he had picked up on his natural abilities and dedication to the craft. He handed Dan the scissors and told him that if used them correctly he could become one of the most sought after tailors in the world.

Dan strived to live up to this prophecy and has since put these scissors to good use. He began his training overseas with numerous visits to Savile Row. It was there that he apprenticed under the best in the industry. Upon returning to Bangkok he realized there was a serious lapse in high-quality tailoring. It was then that he vowed to reinvent the business and take what he had learned to England back home to Thailand.
