Alexander Amosu designs world’s most expensive £70,000 suit!!!


For the uber-rich who are still shopping at Cartier, buying diamond-studded phones and traveling in their private-jets, bling king Alexander Amosu unveils the world’s most expensive £70,000 ($101,860) suit to whet their urge to splurge. Designer Alexander Amosu said: “I firmly believe that in the wake of the recession, there is still a demand for uncompromising quality.” What makes it different from the other expensive brands is its rich make and the number of hours slogged in to give shape to this formal garment. The one-off creation has taken in excess of 80 hours to complete and is made from vicuña, a rare wild South American animal related to the camel which only produces enough wool for shearing every three years, qiviuk, the world’s most expensive wool, gathered from the Arctic muskox. When blended with pashmina from the high mountain plateaus of the Himalayas they create Vanquish II, one of the world’s most luxurious cloths. The suit features over 5,000 individual stitches equating to £14 (approx. $20) per stitch. And no price for guessing that the suit features diamonds to justify its six-figure price tag. The suit features nine 18-carat gold and pave set diamond buttons to make it worth every penny. Amosu adds: “Buying an Alexander Amosu suit is the ultimate in luxury. We create the finest bespoke suits using fabrics which emphasise character, style and individuality.” The most expensive suit goes on sale in London.

Update: The suit has been sold to a mystery buyer for the mentioned $101,860 price tag.
