Tailoring Tales: Beijing Welcomes Shanghai Suit Brand

Looking stylish can be a challenge for the busy men of Beijing. “Lacking time and variation in choice, many of the city’s gents are under-dressed on business and social occasions,” Amy Tsai of Rui’Z Bespoke says. The focus of this Shanghai-based brand is to help change that, bringing high-end bespoke tailoring with a classic touch to the gents of Beijing. Whether it is the look of a playful dandy you are after, or that of a classic gentleman, Rui’Z Bespoke is on hand to assist you.

The shop is the newest addition to the city’s burgeoning group of bespoke tailoring establishments aimed at making Beijing guys that little bit more dashing. Following in the footsteps of London’s Savile Row tailors, the company provides suits made by hand to individually fit, with no made-to-measure or ready-to-wear. A wide selection of branded fabrics are available to choose from, all of which are sourced from England and Italy and include Scabal, Holland & Sherry, and Ermenegildo Zegna.

Each suit takes between four and six weeks to produce (from first measurement to fitting), and prices range from RMB 6,800 for a two-piece suit to between RMB 10,000 and RMB 20,000 for a luxury branded fabric suit. Production takes place at their workshop in Shanghai.

For those unaware of the difference between a notched and a peaked lapel, a bespoke specialist is on hand to advise on every detail of the suit. Holistic dress style advice is also on offer to help you to find the right look.

With its sleek wooden floors and spacious interior, the shop provides a bright and modern space for a one-on-one consultation, while a shiny red bicycle perched proudly in the window adds to the London “dapper chap” aesthetic. The shop exterior is made up of large plate glass windows, which allow ample opportunity for passersby to catch a glimpse of you in your new suit – ideal for those customers with an exhibitionist streak.
