A bespoke tailor starts by looking at the person, not the jacket. They take measurements, note the person’s posture and movement, and then create a garment tailored to that person for specific occasions, rather than a mass-produced item you’d find on a rail.
A bespoke wardrobe designer does the same thing. For Bespoke Fitted Wardrobes, visit https://lamco-design.co.uk/bespoke-fitted-wardrobes
When asking about the measurement stage of a fitted wardrobe project, it’s not just the dimensions of the space that are considered. Questions are asked about the person who will be using the wardrobes, for example, about what will be hanging, full-length or half-length, how many short hanging positions will be needed for shirts or jackets, how many shoes will be stored, what kind of storage is needed, flat or angled, and so on. Some people will want to see everything, and some will want to conceal as much as possible. Questions also need to be asked about how people work – for example, how many people will be sharing the wardrobes, and what will their individual design requirements be?
The questions asked can be similar to those a tailor asks during a consultation before cutting begins. The discipline required is similar; it’s about gathering as much relevant, individual information as possible to create something beautiful that will be used by one person, rather than the average person.
Off-the-shelf wardrobes have nobody in mind; bespoke ones have you. That distinction is what you feel every morning for the next few years. That difference is why bespoke costs what it does.
