Low Profile Hong Kong Businessmen Rescue Ancient Custom Clothing Store Tissimans

< p > the world's oldest "a href=" http://www.91se91.com/pioneer/ "custom clothes" /a "shop Tissimans is on the verge of collapse, bought by an ultra low-key Hongkong merchant Ricky Lam Chi-Kong, and plans to make it the top luxury brand in Britain.

< /p >

P, the oldest custom clothing store in the world, was bought by an ultra low profile Hongkong businessman Ricky Lam Chi-Kong on the verge of bankruptcy. It plans to make it the top luxury brand in the UK, Tissimans.

< /p >

< p > according to British media reports, Tissimans, which began in 1601, is the oldest custom clothing store in the world. It has served many official dignitaries. The servant of the famous writer Samuel Johnson once bought a hat for his owner in 1769. In twentieth Century, the famous sculptor Henry Moore was also a frequent visitor to his family.

< /p >

< p > Tissimans is located in the historic town Bishop s Storford of Hertfordshire, where business has flourished and businesses are gathering. In recent years, the Pearsons department stores and Clement Joselyne furniture shops have been closed down, and the passenger flow on the streets has become increasingly scarce.

< /p >

After P changed hands several years ago, Tissimans was run by another two Cole family acquisitions: a href= "http://www.91se91.com/pioneer/" > men's wear > /a > brand Uckfield and Epping, six.

Freddy Cole has helped his father manage this shop since he was 17 years old. He managed men's suits and casual wear, and provided customization and rental services.

At the age of 23, he led four men to support the gloomy business and finally declared bankruptcy this year.

He complained that fewer and fewer people wore men's formal clothes, and those who came to the store rarely tried to buy them, and ran to the Internet to pick up similar styles of bargains.

"P," the local people said, "everyone is sorry to hear that the old shop is closed, but in fact, no one has actually bought anything in this shop. We just regard it as a scenery in the town."

< /p >

< p > unexpectedly, this gloomy ending has undergone a dramatic reversal.

< /p >

< p > 56 years old Hongkong businessman < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/pioneer/" > Ricky Lam Chi-Kong < /a > started by real estate and shipping, keen on horse racing. He is super low-key, and hardly finds any reports about himself on public networks.

This year, he read about the news that Tissimans was going to go bankrupt in the newspaper. He decided to buy it. Now it is publicly available that he and his 28 year old son are on the board of directors. Besides, two of the Cole's more than 60 year old people (who are estimated to be Freddy Cole's parents) remain in office.

< /p >

< p > Ricky Lam has publicly stated that to build Tissimans into the UK luxury brand at the top of Pyramid, it not only invites senior managers to introduce luxury new products, but also employs Topshop's former chief market officer's new company Innovate7 to help plan digital marketing strategies.
