PERSONAL BY DESIGN

From choosing the silhouette and fabric to refining the smallest detail, Clara Minnelli’s bespoke service gives you a role in shaping the piece from the very beginning. The result is not simply a garment made for you, but a design that could only belong to you.

WHY CHOOSE BESPOKE?

A handloom textile is shaped by the movement of the loom and the hands of the person weaving it. Small variations in tension, texture, and pattern are part of what makes handwoven cloth distinctive. No two pieces carry exactly the same character.

Bespoke takes that individuality one step further. Rather than beginning with a fixed collection, the process begins with you. Your preferences, proportions, fabric, silhouette, and details become part of the design, creating something that feels considered from the first thread to the final stitch.

Each Clara Minnelli bespoke piece is:

HANDWOVEN
Created using traditional weaving techniques rather than mass-produced machinery.

MADE IN SMALL QUANITITIES
Produced in small batches or as individual pieces, allowing greater attention to the garment.

SHAPED WITH YOU
Your ideas and preferences guide the design throughout the process.

MADE FROM NATURAL COTTON
Breathable, tactile fabrics chosen for comfort as well as character.

Bespoke is not simply about having something made differently. It is about giving a garment the time, attention, and individuality that mass production often cannot.

Slow fashion, made personal.

YOUR POINTS OF CUSTOMISATION

A garment can begin with a silhouette, but the details are where it becomes yours. From the shape and fit to the colours, weave, and weight of the fabric, Clara Minnelli offers a range of ways to shape a piece around your preferences.

GARMENT TYPE
Choose from shirts, dresses, tops, sarongs, and co-ord sets, or adapt an existing silhouette to create something new from your references.

COLOUR
Colour is decided at the yarn-dye or weaving stage, allowing you to explore single tones, combinations, or a palette inspired by your own references.

FABRIC WEIGHT
The choice of yarn and weave density influences how the fabric falls and feels, from light and fluid to more substantial and structured.

FIT
From relaxed and oversized to more tailored proportions, the fit can be adjusted through pattern and structural changes, with fully personalised options based on individual measurements.

WEAVE & PATTERN
Stripes, spacing, repetition, and symmetry can all be considered at the loom, giving you the opportunity to influence the visual rhythm and texture of the textile itself.

SIZING
Choose from standard sizing or explore modified proportions and individual measurements for a more personalised fit.

From the first choice of colour to the final silhouette, every decision becomes part of the making.

A Few Things to Know

Because each piece is handwoven, no two are ever exactly the same.

Small variations in texture, colour, weave, and finish are natural signs of the handmade process. They are not imperfections, but part of what makes each garment uniquely yours. 

You are not choosing something made to be identical. You are choosing something made to be yours.

  • Natural variation is part of the craft: subtle differences can occur from one piece to another.
  • No two pieces are identical: every weave carries the character of the artisan who made it.
  • Production times may vary: depending on loom availability, weaving complexity, and the time required to complete your piece.
  • We may recommend small adjustments: to ensure the best possible durability, structure, and quality of the final weave.
  • Handwoven is not factory-perfect: it is slower, more considered, and shaped by human hands.
Pricing Transparency

Each bespoke order is individually priced based on fabric, complexity, and time required.

An advance payment is required to begin the design and production process. We will always confirm pricing before production begins, no hidden costs.
