Cuffz, KLCC, Kuala Lumpur

Discerning gentlemen in KL for work or leisure have a great place to pick up formal or casual shirts. That place is Cuffz.

Starting with their first store in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur in 2007, Cuffz is a fast expanding international retailer with Malaysian origins. Offering well-made shirts and cuff links for both men and women, Cuffz targets the dynamic mid-level to C-level executive seeking differentiation and details in their outfits.

Unlike competitors TM Lewin, Thomas Pink and Van Laack who export whatever sells in their Western home countries to this part of the world, Cuffz is Asian-centric. With its base of operations in Asia, Cuffz has the advantage of local intelligence and the ability to respond to Asian shoppers’ needs. For example, it offers shirts designed with Asians in mind and hence, fit Asians better.

Cuffz’s apparel is manufactured in Shanghai, Hong Kong, other parts of China as well as in Thailand. Following the usual Spring-Summer, Fall-Winter fashion schedule, there are 2 major collections each year with refreshments every 1-2 months. As for cuff links, they have the largest collection of cuff links in the world. Manufactured in Hong Kong and China, their cuff links are slightly heavier for a better quality feel. Their gemstone cufflinks come from India.

What makes Cuffz’s shirts stand out is the attention to detail. For example, there is a modesty button in ladies’ shirts to keep away from prying eyes. The shirts are made from 100% fine cotton. I have a non-iron shirt from Cuffz. I don’t usually like non-iron shirts as the fabric is usually very stiff. It’s like wearing cardboard. But the fabric of the Cuffz non-iron is very soft, almost as soft as pyjamas. The shirts have great emphasis on workmanship——the stitching is top notch, sturdy and tight. Overall, my Cuffz shirts are very, very good quality. Even after many times laundry, they still retain their shape. The colours and stitching remain unchanged. Because of the quality, I consider Cuffz very good value for money.

I would highly recommend anyone visiting a city with Cuffz stores to pick up their fashionable, long-lasting quality shirts. They currently have stores in Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Shanghai.
