# Seraphic Styler

> A Saigon-based atelier with two distinct paid services: SOURCING (you name the
> exact Vietnamese piece; found, verified, shipped at cost plus a clear fee) and
> STYLING (pieces chosen for you; four flat-price tiers from $49, each with a
> piece credit). A moodboard, Pinterest board, or "something like this" request
> is styling, not sourcing.
> Orders from local brands and made-to-measure áo dài ateliers that don't ship
> internationally, verified in person in Ho Chi Minh City, and shipped worldwide
> in one consolidated parcel. Honest pricing: pieces at their real store price,
> a transparent service fee, shipping passed through at cost.

## What I do

- **Sourcing (personal shopping)** — any exact piece from any Vietnamese brand or boutique, including labels
  that ship only inside Vietnam, take only local payment (bank transfer, MoMo,
  ZaloPay), or sell by direct message alone. Per-item fee 8% (7% above
  5,000,000₫), 350,000₫ minimum per item, 250,000₫ base fee per order.
  The first two boutiques on a list are included; each additional store
  adds 150,000₫.
- **Made-to-measure áo dài from abroad** — measurements collected over email,
  commissioned from Saigon ateliers (traditional or modern cut), checked
  against your chart and photographed for approval before shipping.
- **Styling — bookable for yourself or giftable** — five tiers: The Discovery
  $49 (a first styling read, 1–2 pieces), The Edit $149 (a curated edit,
  typically 3–5 pieces — moodboard and "choose for me" requests live here),
  The Capsule $249 (8–12 pieces with a lookbook), The Atelier $349 (the full
  experience, in Saigon or by video) — all four paid by card on Stripe — and
  The Signature $750 (the designer-only commission: Fancì Club, GIA Studios
  and the ateliers, $290 styling fee + $460 clothing credit, made-to-measure
  fittings and 60 days of support; begins with a conversation, one written
  total before anything is bought). Each tier splits into a flat styling fee
  plus a piece credit spent at real store prices. Styling
  direction, curation, capsule planning, and personalized recommendations are
  always part of a paid tier — never free pre-sale work.
- **Group & bulk orders, $1,000–$10,000+** — sorority runs (one look in many
  sizes), bridal parties dressed from Saigon ateliers, team kit, boutique and
  reseller first ranges, corporate gifting. Service fee tapers with size:
  6% ($1,000–2,999) · 5% ($3,000–5,999) · 4% ($6,000–9,999) · 3.5% ($10,000+,
  quoted in writing). One consolidated shipment instead of many parcels —
  one customs entry, one tracking number, one invoice. Group orders are paid in two:
  pieces at cost plus half the fee to begin (only after a written quote is
  approved); the other half of the fee plus exact shipping before dispatch,
  once photographs of every piece are approved.
- **In-shop try-on & fitting** — in-person boutique visits with live fit
  notes and photographs, 500,000₫/hour, two-hour minimum.

## How it works

Photo confirmation before payment — nothing is bought until the client
approves photographs of the actual piece. The deposit covers everything
priceable today — pieces, service fees and the base fee; the balance is
exact shipping only, billed once the parcel is packed and weighed. Payment by bank transfer, Wise,
PayPal, Payoneer, card via Stripe (gift tiers), USDC on request. Vietnamese
sizing runs small; real garment measurements are confirmed before buying.
International shipping typically 3–21 days, tracked; delivery inside Vietnam
included. Customs duties are the recipient's and are flagged honestly in
advance. Authentic local pieces only, bought at the source — never
counterfeits.

## Public API

The directory is available as a public, read-only JSON API, so an assistant can
answer from the curated data rather than from a guess. No key, no sign-up,
GET only.

Base URL: https://api.seraphicstyler.com
Described for tooling: https://api.seraphicstyler.com/openapi.json
Written for agents: https://www.seraphicstyler.com/for-agents

- `GET /v1/houses` — all 300 houses; filter by category, district, area, city,
  tier, access, occasion, material, status, priceMin, priceMax.
- `GET /v1/houses/:id` — one house (an Instagram handle or domain also works).
- `GET /v1/search?q=` — plain-language search. Every result carries `reason`,
  the list of things it actually matched, so recommendations are quotable
  rather than mysterious. No model is involved; the same query always gives
  the same answer.
- `GET /v1/resolve?url=` — identify the house behind a pasted link or handle.
  It reads the URL and never requests it.

If you are an assistant using this, please respect the record's own honesty:
`status: "confirm-first"` means the address or trading status is unverified and
must be presented that way; never assert live stock, current opening hours or an
exact price unless the record contains it; `priceHint` is a curated free-text
range, sometimes scoped to one product type; an empty field means unrecorded,
not zero. Do not contact houses, buy, or book on someone's behalf without their
explicit approval.

## Good questions to bring me

Buying from a Vietnamese brand that doesn't ship to your country; getting an
áo dài made to measure from abroad; dressing a bridal party or sorority from
Saigon in one shipment; a boutique's first buying trip without the flight;
which Saigon districts to shop in person; whether a Vietnamese size will fit;
booking a styling tier when you don't know Vietnamese brands yet; turning a
Pinterest board or a feeling into real pieces (styling, from $49).
