The Salgado family learned their trade by working in the fabric mills of Sabadell, just outside of Barcelona, Spain. In 1951, Antonio Salgado came to Canada and settled in Toronto and worked for the Ford Company while building the business.  In 1960, and following his family's move to Canada, Rapido Alterations and Invisible Mending was born and developed a reputable reputation for fine workmanship.  It was from here that House of Salgado was born. Almost 50 years later, the business is still family run. Antonio and his son Mark continue to distinguish themselves from the competition by giving careful fitting of all garments. The store crafts all garments by individually cutting each garment and fitting each client during the basting (Skeleton) stage the garment were/are then re-cut as per the fitting corrections and then finish for a second fitting and check for further adjustments.

House of Salgado dedicates itself to producing fine bespoke gentleman's clothing from the finest fabrics of the world such as Zegna, Cerruitti, Holland and Sherry, Dormeuil and Barberis. Product lines have grown over the years and include custom made suits, shirts and have been expanded to include custom made shoes. One of the few remaining bespoke shops in Toronto, House of Salgado has always kept and will continue to keep the bespoke philosophy or "made to order" mindset in everything it does. The store recently moved to the Toronto-Dominion Centre and operates Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
