Al-Amir Kai
Al-Amir Kai
The Qadiran master tailor Al-Amir Kai, proprietor of the Ready Petal on Sundown Street in the Ivy District, is one of the most in-demand clothiers in all of Absalom. The demanding perfectionist learned his trade in the city of Katheer, and his designs favor cuts and cloths popular in his homeland as well as further east. His influences span the whole of the Padishah Empire of Kelesh, and even to far-flung trading partners on the periphery of that vast dominion. Absalom has always had a passion for gaudy design in its high fashion landscape, and Al-Amir Kai is just the artistic genius to provide it. The rail-thin, always impeccably dressed gentleman devotes personal attention to every one of his well-heeled clients, attending to every detail of a customer’s measurements, consultations, and final fitting. Much of the actual sewing and garment creation takes place in sweatshop-like conditions by a cadre of hard-working young apprentices. These junior tailors enjoy no notoriety for their labors (indeed, Al-Amir Kai maintains the pretense that he sees to every aspect of each of his garments personally), but suffer willingly for the opportunity to learn the trade from one of the finest artisans practicing today. While the master forbids his students from invoking his name to find themselves placement following their apprenticeship, they leave his tutelage with such superlative skill that employment is thereafter nearly guaranteed wherever they apply themselves in the future. Many well-regarded tailors in neighborhoods throughout the city were once his apprentices, and most still hold him in high regard.
