A female friend of mine is going to Beijing and is thinking of ordering a bespoke suit. Apparently, she has heard that the Bauer Company is the right choice. Never heard of them. Any references?
At least they have a website telling us that they are great, but that may not necessarily be a guarantee of great tailoring: http://www.thebauerco.com/

Never heard of them. And I am not impressed by their website.

Thanks. I am sure that there are plenty of threads discussing Beijing bespoke, but now as I have already started this one: where would you suggest a woman to go if, during a stay of about one week or less in Beijing, she would like to have a bespoke suit made at a reasonable price and with a decent quality? Please, suggest one or two decent options.
Thanks!

I would be inclined to run away after looking at that website. Looks like a couple of Spanish fashion designers of unknown pedigree trying to start a fashion company. They offer bespoke suits but fashion, not tailoring, is obviously their focus. Some of the suits featured on there are

That said, I wouldn't even begin to know who to recommend instead in **.

I actually live in Spain and never ever heard of these two guys, neither in the context of bespoke nor in the context of fashion.
(I have sent the link to this thread to my friend so, please, behave like gentlemen and don't tell me that you need naked photos of her to be able to suggest the right tailor...)
