When Hong Kong director Wong Kar-wai's movie, In the Mood for Love, hit the big screens in 2000, the 20-some pieces of qipao presented by the leading actress, Maggie Cheung, inevitably made the scene. Has it ever made you wonder where to find something as graceful and gorgeous? At Ruifuxiang, you may get your answer.
Taking a walk along Dashilan, the oldest commercial street in Beijing, it is hard to miss the baroque-style building, where the legend of Ruifuxiang started.
Ruifuxiang Silk Store, a time-honored brand in Beijing, has been enjoying popularity among consumers for over a century. The brand was built in 1893 by Meng Luochuan, a businessman from Shandong province. Ruifuxiang soon won its reputation by providing high-quality dyed cloth, silk and satin at fair prices, and meticulous tailoring service, and became people's first wardrobe choice. The first national flag of the People’s Republic of China was also made with Ruifuxiang silk.
Even now, Ruifuxiang is well-known as perhaps the best qipao tailoring service you can find in Beijing. As the trend of wearing qipao has returned not only in China but also overseas, Ruifuxiang is always at the top of the shopping lists of women who want to sport a traditional Chinese look.
