2. The second world most expensive suit designed by Arshad Mahmood based in Hong Kong. This suit is priced 43 times as much as Prada?
Arshad Mahmood, director of Apsley Tailors – a company known for its range of bespoke
menswear – recently created what he calls the most expensive suit in the world.
The garment boasts of the highest-quality wool interwined with threads of 22-carat gold, a gold waistcoat and diamond encrusted gold buttons. Apparently, the piece took 200 hours to make.
According to the South China Morning Post, the suit was purchased by an anonymous buyer on May 29 for HKD $1 million (Rs 77 lakh approx).
Arshad Mahmood, who has offices in London and HK, hails from Mirpur in PoK. He trained in the art of tailoring in Karachi in the early 80s.
“It is very special,” Mahmood said in an interview. “It’s a great achievement for us,” he added with pride, saying the million-dollar gold suit is the only one of its kind. Such a special suit also means it will only be worn on special occasions. “People are not going to wear it everyday,” he said, adding that he speculates the well-dressed mystery owner of the suit will probably only wear it twice a year for very special occasions.
1. Stuart Hughes and Richard Jewls of Manchester, England. Made the world most expensive suit with a silk and diamond. That suit is made from a blend of cashmere wool and silk and contains over 480 diamonds measuring up to over 240 carats of suit sparkle. The suit was sold for $7.3 million Hong Kong dollars, or $943,000 US.
