Chapter 234 Customized Services
It is difficult to have a very accurate rating agency for eating in Tianchao. When it comes to Europe, Michelin has naturally become a gold-lettered signboard.

There are ten Michelin three-star restaurants in Germany, second only to France. In addition, Germany has 39 two-star restaurants and 240 one-star restaurants. The total number of three-level Michelin restaurants is nearly [-], ranking second in Europe.

It can be seen that the catering industry in Germany is very developed. In the pursuit of delicious food, the rigorous Germans have been working hard.

Under the recommendation of "local" Femis, Shi Yining decided to dine at a Michelin two-star restaurant called "Tantris" in King's Avenue.

Tantris restaurant is regarded as the premier high-end restaurant in Dusseldorf. It is located in an alley in the east section of King's Avenue. The overall design of the restaurant has a retro style of the 70s.

Warm and bright orange and colorful artistic style paved the way for the interior decoration of the restaurant, creating a relaxed dining atmosphere. The restaurant takes "passion, perfection, enjoyment, magic" as its business philosophy, and is committed to creating a perfect experience for every customer. dining experience.

If it's lunch time, Tantris restaurant is definitely hard to find, but it's already past the meal time, and the seats are not too tight.

The main reason why Shi Yining chose this restaurant was not the two-star Michelin star, but Femis said that Tantris restaurant is different from other Michelin-starred restaurants in that it does not blindly promote French and Italian dishes, but authentic German cuisine!
Food is definitely one of the best ways to experience a local culture.

In the distinguished cubicle, Shi Yining and Huang Jiayan enjoyed their first formal meal in Europe.

During the meal, Shi Yining discovered that no matter if it is French, Italian or German, if it becomes a Michelin restaurant, the amount of dishes must be very small!

The chef is reluctant to use even a little more ingredients, and the weight control during the whole process is as precise as a scientific experiment. The dishes made in this way will not have too much fluctuation in taste, and it is not easy to fail, and it will not There are surprises of extraordinary performance.

The food was served very slowly. There were fifteen dishes in total, and it took nearly an hour and a half to finish the meal.

When Shi Yining walked out of the restaurant and came to King's Avenue again, he found that the sun had already set to the west, and it was estimated that it would be dark in an hour or two.

Sure enough, only rich people with money and time can calm down and enjoy life, time, money, these two elements are indispensable!

Returning to the King's Road, there are still many tourists, and people of all colors are walking between the shops.

Shi Yining is not very interested in things like shopping, and he was a little enthusiastic at the beginning of making money, and then lost interest. The so-called luxury goods are still products produced on the assembly line, and they are nothing more than exquisite materials. big.

But when he saw a shop whose signboard was scissors and measuring tape, he became more interested.

"Sa... Safinoch? From Savile, since 1885?"

After seeing the information on the signboard clearly, Shi Yining asked Femis: "This Savile refers to Savile Row in the UK?"

"Yes, Mr. Shi, although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that the Brits are slightly better than our country in tailoring suits, just a little bit!"

Femis pinched a little distance with two fingers, trying to express the concept of "a little bit".

Shi Yining didn't care about Femis' insistence. He had heard about the name of Savile Row for a long time. It was a street in London famous for its traditional tailor-made men's clothing. The word "bespoke" originated from Savile Row, meaning It is tailored for individual customers.

The short street has been hailed as a "tailor-made prime location", with past clients including Winston Churchill, Viscount Nelson and Napoleon III.

Savile Row was founded in 1731, and the Safi Noche tailor shop in front of it was founded in 1885. Compared with the age of the street itself, it is 150 years younger, but it has gone through ups and downs, and today it has passed 130 years. Year.

A tailor shop that has been passed down for more than 100 years has been polished by at least five or six generations. It has also opened the shop from Savile Row to Dusseldorf, the clothing capital of Germany. If you say you don’t have any skills, no one will believe it!
Shi Yining became very interested in this Safinoch tailor shop. He waved his hand and said, "Go, go and have a look. Jack Li and Evans will also give you a set."

"Oh boss, thank you so much! My birthday wish was to have a bespoke Savile Row suit and it's finally coming true!"

As an authentic British man, Jack Li has longed for Savile Row for a long time. Unfortunately, the high customization price once discouraged him. Even though he later gained some savings as a senior private bodyguard, he also had family responsibilities. More than ten years later, It has never been possible.

Evans was not as excited as Jack Li. He did not have much pursuit of clothing, but was more interested in high-performance electronic equipment, but he still expressed his gratitude to his boss.

Huang Jiayan pursed her lips helplessly. She had heard about Savile Row, a paradise customized for men, and it really had nothing to do with her as a woman.

A group of people walked to the tailor shop, opened the door and entered, and the heavy feeling of time came over their faces, making people feel that they had returned to the Victorian era in an instant.

The store is not very big. Whether it is a wardrobe or a display cabinet, it has an obvious Victorian style. There are five or six half-length models around the counter, displaying different styles of suits.

Rows of display cabinets display exquisite fabrics, buttons, ties and other parts for making suits.

The store is very quiet, only two or three customers are strolling quietly, admiring the finished suits made by hand.

"Is there anything Safinoch can do for you, sir."

The standard London accent came from a man who was over half a century old. The exquisite shirt and vest, with a tape measure hanging on his shoulder, gave him a sense of touch.

Safinoch is the family name of a middle-aged man. For him, the surname is more important than the first name.

"Safinoch, are you really from Savile Row?"

Shi Yining first expressed his doubts.

Safi Nuoqi could tell who was the main character among the group of people. He politely gestured for a seat, and then asked the servant to serve tea, and then said, "Sir, what should I call you?"

"Shi, my surname is Shi, from the Celestial Dynasty."

"Mr. Shi, there is still a Safi Noche tailoring shop in Savile Row, which is managed by my son. He is very talented in tailoring. He has 30% of my skills before he is [-] years old, so I put Savile The shop on the street was handed over to him."

"And I came to Dusseldorf, which is my wife's hometown, and I have been here for eight years. If you don't believe it, you only need to search it on the Internet map to find Saville Row. , 130 years of history, has never changed location.”

Speaking of the 130-year history, the pride on Safi Nuoqi's face cannot be concealed at all. This is the glory of the Safi Nuoqi surname.

"What are the unique features of custom-made suits? Can you briefly introduce them?"

Shi Yining smiled and waved his hands. He was just curious and didn't mean to be serious.

Safi Nuoqi glanced at other customers who were shopping, and finally decided to do a good job of serving Mr. Shi in front of him. He spent half his life in Savile Row. Old Safi Nuoqi could judge who the prospective customers were. .

The main business of the Safi Nuoqi tailor shop is custom-made suits, but if it only makes highly customized suits, the Safi Nuoqi family will not be able to do it long ago.

High-end tailor shops generally sell three kinds of ready-made garments, the most advanced one is full customization, the second is semi-customization, and the second is full handmade non-customization.

What Shi Yining needs is full customization, and what he sells directly in the store is handmade non-customized suits.

Full manual non-customization guarantees the basic income of the store, and semi-customization can also have a certain income, but only full customization can really make money. Safi Nuoqi must serve fully customized customers well!

"Mr. Shi, there are tens of thousands of identical clothes in one layout of suits mass-produced by machines, with only a few sizes, multi-layered suits, and assembly line production. But custom-made suits are unique."

"If there is any slight discomfort in the pre-made suits, the ending can only be made up for, and the advantages of each person's figure cannot be fully displayed. Compared with mass production, custom-made suits are more suitable for tailoring."

"Everyone's body is different, and the size and specifications need to be very precise. For example, when I make a suit, I need to accurately measure and record the personal dimensions of nearly [-] parts, so as to ensure the rigor of the plate-making process and the close-fitting effect of the suit, and By maximizing strengths and avoiding weaknesses, the fabrics are carefully crafted to create the most suitable suit for the wearer."

"Safi Nuoqi Tailor Shop strictly requires that it follow the 110 eight-step workmanship, be meticulous about every stitch, every stitch and every button, and pursue perfect quality. Every detail of the collar, front chest, and arc of the pocket reflects the soul of quality. Plate making, independent tailoring, and intermediate semi-finished products have to be tried and adjusted many times to achieve a fit or even a perfect wearing effect.”

"Starting from the design, we can independently design a plan that belongs to the customer, ranging from the fabric and style of the clothing, to the small eyelets, lining pockets and stitching colors. You can choose the most suitable plan for yourself..."

The old Safi Nuoqi explained to Shi Yining the exquisiteness of their family's traditional craftsmanship in detail, including unique design, selection of fabrics, exquisite needle and thread, hand and eye coordination, all the way to the final modification and shaping.

Every step of the entire process adheres to top-notch production techniques and is meticulously crafted to ensure the best quality. Craftsmanship means the ultimate selection of materials, the ultimate care, the ultimate design, and the ultimate control of every process.

After listening to it, Shi Yining finally understood why the suits worn by the top celebrities and dignitaries he saw on TV were so good-looking, and why he couldn't wear the clothes he bought in luxury stores. The problem lies in the customization.

The version produced by the assembly line and the exclusive customization cannot be compared at all. The exquisite tailor can make every part of the body exude charm!
Shi Yining no longer hesitated, and directly entered the customization process, the first item being the body measurement.

Old Safinocci accepted several apprentices in Germany, and they began to get busy. They began to accurately measure the bodies of Shi Yining, Jack Li, and Evans. Each value was recorded in the book, including the errors before and after exercise. Nothing left.

While measuring the body, Safinoqi asked about the design styles, mainly around the wearing environment and personal preferences, and finally decided to release two versions of orthodox suits and two versions of banquet suits.

After the body is measured, it enters the stage of material selection, and the choice of material directly determines the price.

"Mr. Shi, I only recommend three brands of fabrics: Domei, Shijiabao and Holland & Cherry..."

After getting a general understanding of Shi Yining's spending power, the old Safi Nuoqi recommended the most top-notch fabric brand without hesitation.

Tomei, Shijiabao and Holland & Cherry are collectively known as the Three Musketeers of British fabrics. They are comparable in strength and each has its own characteristics.

After careful selection, Shi Yining decided to choose the Shijiabao brand with the credo of "we never consider reducing the cost of raw materials" as the fabric for making suits.

Although almost all of the Three Musketeers of British Fabrics are top and bottom, Scabal is known as the "King of Fabrics" for a reason. In recent decades, almost all major technological breakthroughs in fabrics have been initiated by it.

Scabal purchases the best raw materials, the comfort of ultra-fine wool, the softness of cashmere, the elegance of silk, worsted fine weaving, and the last unique "paper press" finishing technology, which can always ensure that any fabric is worthy of "fabric "King" reputation.

Since it is called the "King of Fabrics", the price is naturally not ordinary. The top-notch Scabal "Peak" 250-count wool costs [-] euros per meter. A suit costs [-] euros just for the fabric. Not including the cost of the lining and a range of parts…

Jack Lee and Evans made it clear that they don't need Scabal suits, expensive fabrics will keep suits in the closet...

In the end, the two bodyguards chose Vidale fabric produced in Italy as the suit material. The price per meter is only [-] euros, which is much cheaper than Scabal, but it is still expensive.

Shi Yining customized four suits in total. The materials and craftsmanship fees totaled 15 euros, which was more than a little more expensive than ordinary luxury goods...

In the end, he agreed with the old Safi Nuoqi to deliver in three weeks, during which he needed to try on the model at least once to make fine adjustments.

"Mr. Shi, it would be more perfect if the exquisite suit can be paired with a pair of custom-made leather shoes. I would recommend to you a shoe store called Pete White in the east corner of Savile Row in London. His family has a shoemaking history of nearly 200 years. The most brilliant Served in the royal family during the period."

Old Safi Nuoqi seriously introduced to Shi Yining.

After listening to Safinoch's words, Shi Yining raised his feet and looked at it, and smiled helplessly: "It's okay if I don't say it, but it really feels a bit inappropriate when I say it..."

If hundreds of thousands of custom-made suits are paired with a pair of cheap assembly-line leather shoes, it will directly lower the taste of the whole person. Exquisite taste is always reflected in the details, such as cufflinks, socks, tie clips, corsages, and shoelaces. It is easy to expose a person's true taste.
