Meet Mario
Mario Duarte’s tailor training goes back all the way to his childhood days in beautiful Guatemala. He began his training at his brother’s and family friend’s tailor shop at an early age. This is where his love for tailoring was born. By 1990, Mario continued to hone his skills under one of the best custom tailors in all of Houston. Mario eventually became the head tailor at Leopold Price and Rolle clothing store. In 1992, Mario began to utilize his skills and expertise working at Neiman Marcus. In 1994, Mario founded Prestige Tailors and ran the shop for 13 years until 2007 when he decided to sell his alterations business. Just two years later, Mario’s itch to get back into the tailoring business cumulated in the opening of Memorial Tailors with his nephew Elwin. They have created an amazing partnership with an award winning Tailor Shop.
Mario’s creativity has also been used to design custom dance uniforms for all the Houston professional teams: Houston Texans, Houston Rockets & Houston Dynamo. You can see Mario’s latest custom design uniforms worn by the Houston Rockets Clutch City Dancers. Mario absolutely loves what he does, and it shows in every stitch, on every garment at Memorial Tailors.
