Bespoke and made-to-measure manufacturing for brands who already sell.

The minimum order quantity is 1 garment. A single piece is a valid order, and so is a full collection. That matters because Italian production is normally quoted against a minimum of dozens or hundreds of pieces per style, and that threshold is what forces a brand to buy inventory before it knows what sells. With no minimum you can test one style at one unit, produce a retail customer’s order in the week it is placed, or run a small batch and repeat it once it sells through. Three patterns come up most often: proving a new product before committing budget, adding a made-to-order line beside an existing stocked range, and fulfilling individual client orders without holding a size run. Unit cost does move with quantity, and we quote it openly before you commit. There is no contract minimum and no obligation to reorder.

All production is in Italy. Caprice Bespoke is a made-to-measure atelier in Molise and coordinates a network of Italian workshops and fabric mills. Every garment is Made in Italy with traditional sartorial craftsmanship.

We produce tailoring and ready-to-wear: jackets, suits, shirts, trousers, knitwear, outerwear and accessories. Both made-to-measure and standard sizing are available, as private label or white label under your own brand.

Start by telling us two things: what you already sell, and what you want made. You do not need a finished technical specification to open the conversation. A sketch, a garment you want copied, or a reference product you can point at is enough for us to work from, and we turn that into a production-ready spec with you. From there the sequence is fixed. We match the right Italian workshop to the garment and source the cloth. We produce one sample and refine it with you until the fit and finish are right. You approve it, and only then does production begin, followed by quality control and delivery to you or straight to your customer. If you are not trading yet, production is not your first problem and the free learning path is the better starting point. Otherwise, email manufacturing@capricebespoke.com with your sales channel and the product you have in mind.

Yes. Our made-to-order model produces each garment after it sells, so you avoid overstock and markdowns. You can also produce small batches to keep limited stock on hand. You choose the model for each product.

In practice, yes. The platform works best for businesses that already sell: an existing brand, a retail store, an e-commerce, or a made-to-measure service with customers today. Size does not matter and there is no minimum order, so a small operator with real demand is a good fit. If you have not sold anything yet and are still deciding on product, market or positioning, production is not your first problem — start with our learning path instead, and come back when you have something to make.

Yes, and it is one of the strongest reasons retailers work with us. The conventional sequence is forecast, buy, stock, discount: you commit capital months ahead, then mark down whatever the forecast got wrong. Made-to-order reverses it to sample, sell, produce, deliver. You hold fitting samples in store rather than inventory, take the order once the customer has committed and paid, and we produce the exact size and specification that actually sold. The capital that used to sit in unsold stock stays in the business, and the markdown disappears because nothing was made speculatively. Ready-to-wear, made-to-order and made-to-measure all run through the same ordering workflow, so you can move one category across without changing how the rest of the store buys. Most retailers start with the range that discounts hardest and expand from there once the workflow is familiar.

Production runs in two scheduled stages, and we confirm dates for your specific project in writing before you commit to either. The first stage is sampling: we make one garment to your specification and send it for approval. The second is the production run itself, which is scheduled only after you sign that sample off, so the finished pieces match something you have physically held. Three things move the date more than anything else. How many sampling rounds the design needs, because a first sample is rarely final. Whether your chosen cloth is in stock at the mill or has to be woven to order. And how many styles are in the run, since one refined style moves faster than a multi-style collection. Rather than publish a generic figure that would be wrong for most projects, we give you a stage-by-stage schedule before you place the order.

We source fabrics from Italian mills: wool, merino, cashmere, cotton, linen, silk blends and performance fabrics. You can specify a fabric from our sourcing network or supply your own. Every fabric is confirmed in the sampling phase before production begins, so you see and approve it before committing to a run.

Yes. Made-to-measure production is available alongside standard-size production. Each garment is cut to a specific set of measurements, giving your customers a fit that off-the-rack sizes cannot match. This is particularly suited to tailoring, occasion wear, and brands that sell directly to individual clients. Measurements can be captured once and reused through Size Passport, our web-based measurement record, so a returning customer does not have to be measured again.

Quality is checked at three points rather than once at the end. Fabric is inspected before cutting, because a flaw found on the roll costs cloth and a flaw found in a finished garment costs the garment. Assembly is checked in process, while a seam or a shoulder can still be corrected on the same piece. And every order is inspected again before it ships. Anything we find is photographed and documented, and resolved before dispatch rather than reported afterwards. The part that makes this work is structural: we coordinate production directly with the workshops instead of routing through an agent, so quality feedback goes to the people holding the garment on the same day, and a recurring issue changes how the next run is made. If a piece still reaches you wrong, tell us and we correct it — the atelier that made it is the one that fixes it.

Yes. We ship finished garments worldwide — to your warehouse, your showroom, or direct to your end customers under your brand. Duties and import documentation are handled in the shipping process. Most partner brands in Europe and the United States receive production within the agreed lead time.

We work with fashion labels, tailoring businesses, existing retail stores, luxury retailers, e-commerce brands, independent made-to-measure sellers, and hospitality companies that want private label uniforms or gifting collections. The common thread is that they are already selling to customers and need Made-in-Italy quality without a large minimum order. Many start with a single garment or one product line before moving more of their range to made-to-order.

Yes. The network has two sides. Italian workshops, factories and ateliers join to fill idle capacity with specified, approved orders and to build recurring production without chasing new clients themselves. Mills, converters and fabric distributors join to get their cloth in front of international brands at the moment those brands choose fabric, and to be specified into production runs. Each side has its own page explaining how it works and what we ask for.
