Official Bespoke
A luxury culture & design magazine. Published since 2007.
Official Bespoke is a half-yearly print and digital magazine covering luxury culture, design, architecture, watches, automotive, and the people behind them. We have published continuously since 2007, with editorial roots in the Middle East and a readership across the world.
We are interested in objects, places, and people that took a long time to make and reward a long time looking at. We are not in the business of pieces about whatever is trending this week. The work we cover usually predates us; we expect it to outlast us.
Each issue is themed. Articles range from short reported pieces to longer narrative features. Photography is commissioned where possible, archival where not. We try to write the kind of magazine a reader will keep on a shelf.
The magazine is edited by Nicolas Shammas. New issues are published twice a year. Back issues are available digitally and in print.
