It has taken more than 80 hours and 5,000 individual stitches to make it - equivalent to £14 per stitch.
The materials used include vicuña, a rare wild South American animal related to the camel which only produces enough wool for shearing every three years.
Another is qiviuk, the world's most expensive wool, gathered from the Arctic muskox.
When blended with pashmina from the high mountain plateaus of the Himalayas they create Vanquish II, one of the world's most luxurious cloths.
The addition of nine 18-carat gold and pave set diamond buttons completes the suit.
Designer Alexander Amosu said the economic crisis had not completely stopped the demand for designer fashion.
He said: "Buying an Alexander Amosu suit is the ultimate in luxury. We create the finest bespoke suits using fabrics which emphasise character, style and individuality.
"I firmly believe that in the wake of the recession, there is still a demand for uncompromising quality.
"We might not be catering to everyone, but the people who buy Alexander Amosu want to wear the very best suits in the world."
Amosu specialises in designing luxury fashion and technology products.
The London-based businessman made his first million by composing and selling mobile phone ring tones.
In 2008 he was listed in The Times Top 40 Under 40 of rising media industry entrepreneurs.
