Bespoke Orders

BESPOKE ORDERS ARE CLOSED FOR THE REMAINDER OF 2026.

If we are simply tweaking a design that we already offer or integrating special-order materials, this service is open year-round.

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 process significantly, but our bespoke offerings generally fall into the categories below:

  • Wallets and cardholders
  • Smaller bags (tote, purse)
  • Unique watch straps
  • Unique belts

Below are some of our favorite bespoke pieces, which are representative of what we offer.



Laptop Bag: cognac Minerva Italian veg tan cowhide shoulder. Machine-stitched with green Vinymo thread. Solid natural brass hardware including signature "collar lock" closure. Lined with green goat suede.

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, full payment is accepted at the front, after the design is agreed upon. We offer multiple financing services through popular platforms. If a client changes their mind before we have ordered any necessary materials, we are able to process a full refund. If we have already ordered materials when the client decides not to move forward, we are able to refund the initial payment minus our outlay for materials. If the client decides not to move forward once we have already begun work, we are able to process a 50% refund, and if the client waits until all work is near- or at-completion before requesting withdrawal from the project, we will not be able to process a refund, and the item will be shipped as agreed upon.

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 tracked shipping or expedited shipping (additional charge) 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 workmanship for life. If there is a flaw in our craftsmanship, we make it right. This includes stitch lines and most hardware. Please see our warranty information. We are also happy to offer free or discounted repairs on our items depending on severity and cause of the damage.
