Where this started
Caprice Bespoke is a made-to-measure atelier that has worked directly with clients on bespoke jackets, shirts, trousers, and knitwear. The work is hands-on: measuring, fitting, adjusting, delivering.
What became clear, order after order, was that fit knowledge was being lost. Measurements taken during one fitting rarely survived to the next. A client who had built a detailed fitting history with one tailor would start again from zero with another. The same questions, the same tape measure, the same process — repeated indefinitely.
The problem was not technical incompetence. It was structural: there was no neutral place for this knowledge to live, no format it could travel in, no owner other than whoever held the last order file.
