A stroll along London’s famous Saville Row allows buyers to experience some of the finest custom made garments on the planet. This experience is the latest inspiration for Puma’s Bespoke Collection, executed in conjunction with retailer oki-ni. Bespoke clothing is known as the creation of garments specifically on measurements provided by customers, creating one-of-a-kind pieces. The Puma Bespoke Collection keeps in tune with its traditional routes with the creation of products utilizing the finest construction and materials limiting production to only 100 pieces.
Among the items in the collection are the Archive T7 track jacket made with the finest English wool-twill. Although the hoodie has been a staple amongst all classes, the Bespoke Collection gives it an apparent lift with improved materials and construction. The Puma Cat Logo Cap was designed by Walter Wright whose many years of expertise led him to choose Russian rabbit felt to create a baseball meets English bowler style cap. Three pairs of sneakers round out the collection in the form of the Suede, Saville Row Stepper and Prince of Wales Liga. Each sneaker is the purest form of design meets quality, with a heavy dependence on the highest quality of materials possible. These items will be available for purchase online at oki-ni and at a pop-up guerrilla store in London, and the Puma Black Store in New York’s meatpacking district.
