It takes two weeks to make a piece of qipao; a month if embroidery is involved. The customer needs to come to the store for one fitting before the garment is completed. There are more than 100 procedures, including measuring, cutting, sewing, edging, buttoning…most of which are done by hand. If you just can't wait to put on a piece of qipao or Tang suit, you can also find ready-to-wear clothes at Ruifuxiang.

Zou Qiuming, who has been working at Ruifuxiang for over 30 years, is happy to see that more and more people, especially young people, are coming to Ruifuxiang looking for outfits.

Ruifuxiang has developed many new products to attract more customers. Silk quilts, for example, their cover and stuffing are made from 100 percent natural silk, and customers can watch the entire production process at Ruifuxiang. And the designs of Ruifuxiang clothes are becoming more diverse and have been combining with more modern design elements. Or, customers can just design their own styles, and let Ruifuxiang turn them into garments.
