GUCCI

YusukeI've previously created a ruffled blouse through Gucci DIY, but beyond the suits mentioned, custom orders are available for a variety of items including bags and sneakers.

The new program, launched this autumn, allows for ordering lettered knits online or in-store. In-store, you can confirm your design on an iPad, which feels very contemporary. It's quite remarkable that a personalized knit, featuring your choice of letters from A to Z on the front or back, can be delivered in approximately six to nine weeks.

The witty 'ABCDEFGucci' on the packaging and tags is also quite amusing. It makes you want to click 'order' even if you're not particularly a knitwear enthusiast.
