The PP Bespoke Shoes Process — From Consultation to Delivery

PP bespoke shoes process — consultation, fabric selection, size fitting, production, delivery.

Pieter Petros July 2026 5 min read PP Shoes

The PP bespoke shoe process is a consultation-led, custom production sequence — from the initial contact through to the delivery of a completed handmade pair in Italy. Understanding each stage removes the uncertainty that a fully custom product can create for first-time buyers.

Stage 1 — Initiating the process. The bespoke shoes programme begins at pieterpetros.com with the Bespoke Shoes product. After ordering, the PP team makes contact — typically by email or WhatsApp — within 24 hours to begin the consultation. This is not an automated process; direct communication with the PP team begins immediately.

Stage 2 — The design consultation. The consultation covers: the fabric (silk, linen, cotton, velvet, or exclusive rare combinations — the team can recommend the best material for the intended occasion and the buyer's preferences); the colour (selected from the available range or developed in collaboration with Pieter for a fully custom colourway); and the embroidery (initials, logo, or a custom design). For buyers who are uncertain about fabric or colour choices, the team provides guidance based on the intended use of the shoes and the buyer's existing wardrobe.

Stage 3 — The size fitting. Ensuring the correct fit for a made-to-measure shoe requires precise measurement. The PP team provides guidance on measuring the foot correctly — the length, the width, and the specific proportions that a handmade shoe can accommodate in a way that a standard-size production shoe cannot.

Stage 4 — Production in Italy. Once the design and measurements are confirmed, the shoes are produced by master shoemakers in Italy. The production time — typically several weeks — reflects the handmade construction process: cutting the natural fabric upper, lasting the shoe over the last, hand-stitching the leather sole, and applying the embroidery detail before finishing.

Stage 5 — Delivery. The completed pair is delivered worldwide. A one-of-one piece, produced for the individual who ordered it.
