“…. different cuts make different looks..,” in a blog interview, Vincent Siow talks about answering the call for curating custom pieces and how personalised tailoring became a potent factor for the brand. He relayed that whilst experts possess the knowledge and talent for custom stitch and cut, there was a struggle of finding the right chemistry between fashion and tailoring. Instinctively, it led him to impart craftsmanship that carried distinct fashionable perspectives, infusing vintage allure with modern trends.
Naturally, for Vincent, his pursuit to improvise a brand for the well-bred, sophistication is privy. Therefore, he is unafraid to show you just how to get it done.
S Bahar
Talking about avant-garde culture, S Bahar possesses the liberal finesse to lift up the unapologetic Malaysian, such as icons like Joe Flizzow. Setting the right intention, positions first impression, and with S Bahar’s contributions of distinguished, personalised dapper clothing, there is intentional expression of style and substance.

Coincidentally, Flizzow endowed one of S Bahar’s more contemporary masterpieces, for a press shot. Decked in pastel shades of salmon pink and white, and further elevated with aviator sunglasses, the ensemble seamlessly positioned him as the embodiment of a modern-day street monarch. Looking back, it bore similar aesthetics to J. Balvin’s MET Gala 2025 in pink vintage.
Speared headed by Sharin Bahar, the team at S Bahar bolsters a sartorial label nurtured by his eye for elegance and the perfect suit cut, from shoulders to trouser length.
