Re: Lanvin to open a new mens store on Saville Row
Lanvin bespoke operation is in line with Parisian tailoring costs, although on the high-end of the curve. The suits cost 5K-6.5K, the rest of the range being for exceptionnal requests for rare fabrics and other eccentric demands. Theauthor of the article probablyshowed the full range because it looks more glamourous.
Tailoring costs, outside of the big houses (say Kiton, Brioni) are much lower in Italy; you could go to Milan or Napoli and have an exceptionnally well-made suit for half or even less of that price.
Honestly I just fail to see how getting your own fittings, pattern, fabric choice and handwork shouldn't cost a lot more than RTW. I mean you some of youguys buy badly sewn nike high-tops for 1K (I'm the same for some other items btw [83])and you fucking complain about the relatively reasonnable costs ofbespoke!!
