Inside the 1701 Bespoke Loft
A Tour of Detroit's Finest Bespoke Tailoring Space
When you step into 1701 Bespoke, you are immediately greeted by a hand-painted sign that exudes a sense of prestige and craftsmanship. Created by the owner's childhood friend Jordan, the sign is hand painted with gold leaf and is a fitting introduction to the bespoke tailoring experience that awaits you.
As you move through the space, you'll see that every detail has been carefully considered to create a unique atmosphere that combines old-world charm with modern luxury. Here's a closer look at each of the rooms in 1701 Bespoke:
The Pressing Room: Preparing Garments to Perfection
The first room you enter is the pressing room. Here, garments are prepared for clients with utmost care and attention to detail. This is where garments are steamed, pressed, and hung on hangers in preparation for fittings and pickups. The pressing room is an essential part of the bespoke tailoring process as it ensures that garments are in top shape and ready for the next step of the process.
The Fitting Room: Measuring and Fabric Selection
The fitting room is where the magic happens. Here, clients are measured, and the fitting process begins. The room is designed to serve two purposes: first, to take measurements and perform a try-on process to better understand the fit of the client; and second, to help clients choose the perfect fabric for their garments.
When clients step into the fitting room, they are greeted with a variety of fabric options from some of the best mills in the world. Before they start exploring their options, the owner takes the time to explain the details and nuances of each fabric, including the weight, composition, and any special weaving techniques used. This way, clients can make informed decisions that fit their needs and preferences.
The Lounge: A Relaxing Space to Take in the Full Experience
Before the fitting process, clients can relax and unwind in the lounge area enjoying water or coffee. This space is designed to be a welcoming and comfortable environment where clients can browse through old fabric books and get a feel for the quality of the fabrics used in 1701 Bespoke garments.
The lounge area is located in the front of the space, providing ample natural light, and giving visitors a tour of the entire loft. The space is decorated with exposed brick and wooden beams, creating a classic, refined atmosphere that perfectly complements the bespoke tailoring experience and gives the juxtaposition of the classic ruggedness of Detroit and the elegance of luxury clothing.
The Work Room: Crafting Garments with Precision and Care
Finally, The Work Room is where the real craftsmanship takes place. This is where the owner does pattern-making work and ensures that all aspects of the bespoke tailoring process are running smoothly.
With a stunning view of the city, The Work Room is a peaceful and inspiring space that helps the owner focus on the task at hand. It's the perfect place to put the finishing touches on a bespoke garment or create a new pattern to set 1701 Bespoke apart from the competition.
1701 Bespoke is a space that has been thoughtfully designed to create a unique and memorable bespoke tailoring experience. Every detail has been carefully considered from the hand-painted gold-leaf sign to the lounge area to create an environment that exudes prestige, craftsmanship, and luxury.
