“A tailor in Hong Kong has produced what he claims to be one of the world’s most expensive suits. With 22-carat gold stitching, a gold waistcoat and diamond-encrusted gold buttons, the one-off was sold on May 29 for HK$1 million (US$129,000). It took Apsley Tailors 200 hours to make the suit from the finest wool, with gold woven into the fabric. Apsley Tailors is based at Punjab House in Tsim Sha Tsui. It is famous for its bespoke suits. Established in 1889, it became the go-to tailors for the British forces stationed in Hong Kong, making officers’ uniforms as well as civilian attire.”
