Alexander Amosu – luxury designer to the rich and famous – is to launch a luxury bespoke suit collection featuring suits made with gold & platinum threads, rare cloths and precious stones.

The suit featured above is a one-off creation made from the finest fabrics in the world.

Valued at a whopping £70,000 ($103,000) this suit has taken more than 80 hours and 5,000 individual stitches to make it.

The suit, which has 18-carat gold and diamond buttons, is due to be delivered to its buyer at a central London party.

The extremely luxurious suit has been given extra security and provided with an armored Range Rover to transport it to the secret venue.

Using the world’s most luxurious fabrics is paramount to the quality of Alexander Amosu.

One such fibre is Vicuna (pictured below); a rare wild South American Camelid which only produces enough wool for shearing every three years.

Another fibre used in the collection is Qiviuk; the world’s most expensive wool, gathered from the Arctic muskox, which sheds its coat once a year.

Together, blended with Pashmina from the high mountain plateaus of the Himalaya’s they create the world’s most luxurious cloth: Vanquish II.

Due to the rarity of these fibres and the care which is taken to safeguard the well-being of the animals that produce them, only enough wool can be gathered to make 300 suits in the world.

As part of the service Alexander and his tailors will travel to clients anywhere in the world in order to take measurements and fit the suits.
