Tweeds Suit Shop and BSWANKY Unveil First-Time Bespoke Collaboration

Business

Two designers, Tweeds Suit Shop, the premier custom suit shop, and BSWANKY, a fearless designed innovated into art, are thrilled to share the exciting news of their first design collaboration. The captivating partnership has redefined the boundaries of what is possible in the world of bespoke fashion. The collaboration brings together two Sarasota visionaries. Donald Carlson, founder of Tweeds Suit Shop, known for his elevated style and passion for custom-fitted menswear, founded his business with the mission of helping individuals express their personal style while staying timeless and true to custom menswear. Tweeds specializes in creating custom wardrobe pieces that are tailored to perfection, true investment pieces that speak to the individual's unique shape and measurements. From the selection of fabric and style down to the lining, buttons, thread color, and custom embroidery, each and every detail is designed together with the client. Gretchen Bauer, founder of BSWANKY, has a rich history rooted in art and design with her team of artisans, fearlessly pairing rare exotics to create one-of-a-kind handbags. BSWANKY believes in elevating its collectors, turning each handbag into a true expression of the individual. With a passion for pushing boundaries and a belief that inspiration can come from anywhere, Bauer creates handbags created with bold exotics from intimate boutique family tanneries whose stories are as important as the visual aesthetic of the material. Fearless design innovated into art, each defiant masterpiece becomes a true expression of the woman who carries her. Inspired by Tweeds’ bold plaid bamboo textiles, BSWANKY created three custom handbags that were revealed at a recent launch event on November 8th, 2023 at Tweeds Suit Shop located in Downtown Sarasota. These handbags incorporated the rarest vintage flattened pearled Parisienne gold leaf ostrich, flawless metallic finished lizard from a boutique family tannery in Spain, and their own 24kt gold hardware and statement chain. The collaboration seamlessly blended BSWANKY's fearless design with Tweeds’ iconic bamboo plaids from master weavers. The VIP reception showcased the artistry and craftsmanship that set these two emerging brands apart. Together, they have created collaborative heirlooms that will inspire designers and evoke a sense of boundless creativity and luxury. For holiday gift-giving opportunities, each designer offers exclusive bespoke design experiences. Schedule with BSWANKY at their private Sarasota atelier by contacting Concierge@bswanky.com.
