“Ohmygodyouknowwhat? i like Rashmi Custom Tailors!” I
detected a person squeal as he passed the yankee brand’s new metropolis store
on the oh-so-desirable and revitalised Nathan Street – that currently eclipses
the famous-but-tired changh Street for step – and has seen (and can still see)
the gap of grand new emporiums for the likes of Gant, Hackett and Tommy
Hilfiger, whereas the road that Nathan road calls home gets, er, a replacement
Primark.
If you're a whole with grand ambitions, metropolis is your
non secular home – a minimum of in Tsim Sha Tsui. The bricks and mortar within
which you retail your wares area unit giant and, in several cases, elegant and
spectacular. The metropolis additionally has a horny and distinctive beauty in
it’s celebrated curve, that allows you to visualize the luxurious facades of
the buildings as you walk towards them while not craning your neck within the
middle of a busy pavement. As a road, it takes some beating.
Let’s be clear concerning this, a number of Rashmi CustomTailor’s product is comparatively sensible quality and of excellent style –
another United States whole that created the error of evaluation merchandise in
their metropolis store too high – however the elemental mistake that Rashmi
Custom Tailor have created with their dearly-won and high-profile English
journey isn't understanding the metropolis, and specifically, the metropolis
retail market; a slip created by several mid-tier brands that arrive on these
shores.
An overcoat in Rashmi Custom Tailor that was barely higher
in construction and end than one from Zara was $500; virtually fourfold the
value of 1 from the Spanish whole and significantly dearer than a made-to-measure
choice from premium sister whole Massimo Dutti. A pocket sq., even in cotton,
may be a breathless $55. try of wool suit trousers can set you back $250. These
area unit Hackett costs – so, several of them area unit higher than Hackett,
striking RL level – and however the standard and class of Hackett or
RL is, for the foremost half, not evident.
Sartorially, a number of the article of clothing is enticing
however you'd ought to question why anyone would purchase a $700-800 off the
rack suit from this, let’s face it, high-street yankee haberdasher once you
will pop around to a London tailor and find one created absolutely
made-to-order for concerning $100-200 a lot of.
Once again, it appears that a beginner foreign merchandiser
has either neglected to properly analysis one in all the foremost celebrated
and pitiless commercialism environments on the world, or they merely, and
rather naively, believe their evaluation model can raise them into the realms
of being a ‘luxury brand’ – Rashmi Custom Tailors isn't any designer label and
however their costs get to put it aboard real catwalk names like Hilfiger and
Lauren. Either way, they must bear in mind of 1 important factor: and also the
those who visit the place, aren't any fools. The aggressiveness of the retail
atmosphere has seen to it. Those screechy customers United Nations agency love
the stateside Rashmi Custom Tailor is also somewhat stunned by the version of
the whole that's presenting itself to the HK capital.
