Bespoke & Executive Gifts: FAQs

Bespoke & Executive Gifts: FAQs

Answers to common questions about commissioning a one-of-one, bespoke piece for a company leader, client, or VIP guest.

What is a one-of-one / bespoke gift?
A single, fully custom piece built around one specific person - a brand's own colours and story combined with a genuinely personal detail researched for the recipient, rather than a template applied to many people.

Who is this service for?
Company leaders and executives, clients, retiring staff, VIP event guests, or an individual marking a personal challenge or milestone - the process is the same regardless of who the recipient is.

What information do you need to start?
A brief on the recipient - their role, the occasion, and any personal detail worth working in (a hobby, a career milestone, a place that matters to them) - plus the brand or product it should be built around.

Can you keep the brief confidential?
Yes - one-of-one gifts are very often a surprise for the recipient, and we're used to working to that discreetly.

What's the typical cost and turnaround?
It varies with design complexity and how much research is involved - share your date and budget when you get in touch and we'll confirm what's realistic.

Does it have to be a shoe?
No - we've built one-of-one pieces on sneakers, engraved drinkware, and other accessories. Tell us what you have in mind.

Can this be for a personal milestone rather than a corporate gift?
Yes - we've built one-of-one pairs around a personal athletic challenge as well as executive gifts, so a birthday, a retirement, or a personal achievement all fit the same process.

How do we commission a piece?
Email business@mattbcustoms.com with your brief and we'll come back with next steps.
