Why Customize?

A valid question. Why take the effort of getting your clothes custom made when you can pick them off the rack? You'll be saving time, money and effort. But are saving on these 'costs' justified? Previously, bespoke clothing was only associated with the elite. The cost of a custom-made suit in say, the US is comparatively higher, making made-to-measure clothing inaccessible for a large number of people. Which is quite unfair, as everyone should have access to well-fitting clothing. But now, India has made it affordable for everyone to be able to wear well-fitting clothing, as the culture of tailoring is so popular. Individualization of clothing is something that has been coming up for quite a while now. Be it teenage girls adding bits of lace or sequins to that old denim jacket, or men adding badges and lapel pins to their blazers - everyone wants their clothing to be their own. Mass production can only do so much, and bespoke tailoring takes individualization to the...

Women's Workwear Wardrobe part 2

As a follow up to part 1, all you ladies who want to know the essentials that go in to a workwear wardrobe, this one is for you. 1. A colored top     This works as a standalone piece or something to wear under a blazer. Go for jewel tones instead of the usual black, white or red to add some interest. 2. A colored blazer     You need an alternative to the black or blue that you own on days when you're going out after work. 3. White shirt/blouse     Enough said. Works for interviews, presentations and with a necklace, you're good to hit a few clubs. 4. Pencil skirt   Worn with a blouse/shirt and a pair of heels, that's power dressing for you. 5. Skinny Belt    An absolute essential. A woman is not fully dressed unless she has a belt on. Can be used with pants, skirts or dresses. 6. Black pumps    A pair that every woman should have in her wardrobe. Preferably leather. 7. Black Blazer   A timeless piece. Th...

Women's Work Wardrobe Part 1

A women's work attire should be the one section of her wardrobe she is extremely confident of. You don't need a multitude of options to be well-dressed to work. You just need to follow a few rules to be able to revamp or start your own workwear wardrobe!

Fit, fit, fit.

Don't get me wrong. I adore shopping. Stepping into a mall and leaving with heavy bags and an extremely light purse is what I love doing. But when it comes to workwear, I feel like that is something you can't compromise on, especially in terms of fit. And the problem is, commercial brands in the market work in sizes. What if you're inbetween a 6 and an 8? What if the smallest or largest size isn't right either? What if the shirt fits, but the sleeves are too tight? I cannot count the number of times I've had an interview or a formal event and have run out to get an outfit and have come back with either nothing or a badly fitted garment which I have to promptly attack with my own sewing machine or request a tailor to help me. But there is a solution to this. Customized, bespoke womenswear. We at 108 Bespoke understand the struggle both women and men go through to find clothes (especially workwear) that fits right. So we let you control everything from the...
