Bespoke Orders

BESPOKE ORDERS ARE CURRENTLY CLOSED FOR THE REMAINDER OF 2025. WE WILL REOPEN BESPOKE ORDERS IN JAN. 2026.

At Studio Hall, we offer bespoke design services in addition to ready to ship and customizable options. Exotic materials, specialty hardware, and complex design can alter the price significantly, so while it is difficult to estimate prices before design, fully custom work generally begins at the ranges below: 

  • Wallets and cardholders starting at $400
  • Smaller bags (tote, purse) starting at $1,200
  • Unique watch straps starting at $300
  • Unique belts starting at $250

If we are simply tweaking a design that we already offer, the starting price may be on the lower end.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What does bespoke design entail?

We leverage our knowledge of fine leather and design to provide a full-service experience from concept to finished product. Whether you are looking to replicate a favorite wallet or simply saved a photo as inspiration, we work side by side to find the perfect color, texture, utility, and aesthetic. Our connections with trusted suppliers allow us access to an incredibly varied selection of leather. While we prefer the Tuscan tanneries of Italy, we are also happy to explore options from the USA and other countries such as France, as well.

What does the bespoke commission process look like?

While every design is different, kind, patient cooperation and education are always our top priority. We offer free initial consultations in person at our Charlotte, NC studio or over video or phone.

1. Explore your concept: With or without exact dimensions, we work together to sketch the first proof of your design based on need, function, or aesthetic vision. We can give a vague cost estimate, but more details are almost always needed.

2. Browse leather, hardware, and thread options: We start with general colors and textures and get more specific as we compile notes, working closely to hone the design.

3. Digital proof and materials list: At this point in the process, a full digital design has been rendered along with a comprehensive description of your project. You will have a chance to approve any changes or customization.

4. Estimate and invoice: Once the invoice is paid, our shop can place the order for needed materials. 

-For bespoke commissions under $1,000, full payment is required up front to secure the commission.

-For bespoke commissions over $1,000, a non-refundable 50% deposit is required to begin work, with the balance due upon completion, prior to delivery.

5. Time frame and delivery: while some projects may only take 2-3 weeks, more detailed designs may take several months. We will always communicate with updated timelines. We offer free or expedited shipping across the US, and local pickup for customers at our Charlotte location. Global shipping can be arranged for an additional charge (excluding exotics such as alligator). We guarantee our products for life. If there is a flaw in our craftsmanship, we make it right. We are also happy to offer free or discounted repairs on our items depending on severity and cause of the damage.
