BESPOKE COMMISSIONS
TELLER bespoke is for those who honor their own taste and individuality.
Every memory, idea, and story you carry becomes the seed for something crafted with care, depth, and lasting meaning.
Together, we bring to life pieces that are meaningful to you and carry your story.
Every custom piece begins with understanding. Some people come with a very clear vision, while others simply know they are looking for something different. Either way, sharing your ideas, preferences, and inspiration is the first step toward creating something truly personal.
To begin your custom process, choose the category that best fits what you are looking for. After selecting an option, you will receive a guide to help me understand your vision, preferences, and ideas for the piece, and to show you how we can begin the process smoothly and enjoyably.
If you'd simply like to personalize one of the existing designs by choosing leather and thread colors, you'll find those options on the product pages below:
Purpose-Driven Commissions (PDC)
ー The most common type of custom project at TELLER ー
Designed specifically for what you carry.
Purpose-Driven Commissions are for those who want a functional piece designed specifically for their item—for example, an eyeglasses case made for their particular pair of glasses. We design the piece around your ideal dimensions, preferences, and the way you plan to use it. Every detail is thoughtfully considered to create the best possible version for your needs. Share as much as you'd like, and we'll refine the design together.
If you'd like the design to become unmistakably yours by incorporating elements of your personality, memories, or personal story, Story-Driven Commissions may be the better fit.
Story-Driven Commissions (SDC)
Thoughtfully made, one story at a time.
Story-Driven Commissions are for those who want a functional piece designed with details that feel naturally and unmistakably theirs. Beyond monogramming, every element is chosen to reflect their character and the meaning they carry. Include as many ideas or details as you’d like, woven into the final design.
Memory-Driven Commissions (MDC)
Created to carry meaning across generations.
Memory-Driven Commissions are for those who want to bring a meaningful part of their past into a new form. It may be something unworn, unused, or tied to a chapter you want to hold close but can’t practically keep with you. I work with that material - on its own or integrated with leather or other elements - to create a functional, lasting piece you can use, display, or pass down. Share the piece and the meaning behind it, and we’ll determine the best way to bring its story forward.
Matching-Set Commissions (MSC)
Crafted as a unified set, made to be shared.
