Hi All,
I hope you are all well.
I wanted to share something with you all and hopefully get some advice about a problem we seem to be having.
So, a little while ago we launched a small collection of shirts made in collaboration with a boutique and fairly celebrated shirtmaker in Italy, Gallia. Now we have put solving this problem on ice for a little bit because it seems somewhere in the purchasing journey we are not quite making it clear just how special these shirts are so it really requires someone who knows us well to go ahead and give it a shot and then pretty much it carries on.
So I received today some shirts I ordered earlier in January and it brought me back to this topic. I have had shirts from pretty much all the best luxury brands, the challenger start-ups (never quite close), Savile row tailors and some of my favourite actually made in Japan but nothing I have owned thus far is quite like the Gallia article. So when we combine that with the pricing advantage of the Archibald model we really should be taking this world by storm with these.. so I figured we need to do something about this and there is something innately missing. We know ultimately quality and craft are the major differentiators here as you have brands of all levels purchasing the best of cloths, however there is an art to putting together and normally that costs a lot, so given the difference is tangible and something one only understands when felt there is a hurdle to overcome.
We are spending some time this month developing a much fuller shirting collection but I really wanted to ask you all for some advice, especially as more of you are learning about Archibald quite intimately with our other products!
This is the link to the current shirting collection:
https://www.archibaldlondon.com/us/...l":"tailored-dress-shirts","title":"Shirts"}]
and the page about Gallia: https://www.archibaldlondon.com/us/...era-veneta/the-tailored-dress-shirts-workshop
And of course, we would never ask for something for nothing... anyone engaging will receive a special link to a MTO 200s Cotton Poplin Shirt, fully customizable at the Naked price. This not only helps us get pointers for the online experience and the way these are positioned but also ensures that there is an opportunity for all of you receive the shirt and experience that they are that special.
Looking forward to hearing all your thoughts!
Best,
R
