In the heart of Texas, one bespoke leather fashion brand, Xespansione Studio, is expanding on what it means to create custom fashion. The company's work, helmed by designer Kevion Xespansione, has become synonymous with exclusivity and craftsmanship. With an already extensive collection of apparel, the studio is now preparing to launch a bold new collection: a seven-piece designer series with a theme focused on Western motifs and casual street wear.
"This collection merges the timeless with the contemporary," Xespansione explains. "It boasts seven unique pieces that we're currently finishing up, from garments to handbags, all in collaborations with a boutique in the US and a prominent designer."
Xespansione Studio's works are rooted in what Xespansione calls "low-quantity, high-quality" leather products, specializing in custom handbags while creating wallets, clothing, and travel accessories. In its pursuit of offering high-quality products, the studio incorporates various leather options, such as Cowhide, Alligator, Calf Hide, Suede, and many others. "Each of our items is handcrafted at our studio in Texas," he shares. "But when I'm travelling, I carry a travel kit with me. You never know when inspiration could kick in. I try to ensure that the production goes where I go."
Customers often visit the studio with a vision, often inspired by pieces they've seen in other boutiques. "Sometimes people see a bag they like and want it in a different material or color," Xespansione notes. "Other times, I help to guide them, creating something unique based on their preferences." The flexibility and customization give the studio a unique edge, as it attempts to ensure the pieces remain exclusive, limited-edition, and bespoke.
Another aspect of Xespansione Studio that helps to solidify its position in the industry is its dependable turnaround time. The studio keeps two to three weeks as its typical turnaround time, while intricately designed projects could take up to a month or more. Xespansione notes that this fixed approach is designed to make product delivery streamlined, instilling ease among customers.
While the studio's roots are in the US, its reach extends globally. International orders flow steadily, and there are aspirations to expand into London and participate in European fashion circles. "We have had invitations to present in Europe, and there's interest around an industry event, particularly in Milan and New York," he adds. The company's growth is largely fueled by word-of-mouth and industry connections, including ties to prominent figures in music and the arts.
Collaboration remains at the cornerstone of the company's identity. Stretching beyond boutiques, Xespansione Studio partners with other artists for one-off creations and events. The upcoming collection, for example, involves a collaboration with a hat designer known for dressing attendees at prominent galas. "We're focused on blending artistry across disciplines," Xespansione says, "In doing so, we work toward providing clients something truly exclusive."
In essence, Xespansione Studio thrives on versatility. Its collection encompasses traditional handbags, innovative garments, and accessories, such as caps and pet collars, offering a range of items designed for discerning customers who value individuality and style. Its upcoming collection exemplifies this philosophy, offering a curated fusion.
As the launch approaches, the studio is ready to showcase its latest creations, inviting a wider audience to experience handcrafted luxury that transcends trends. For leather enthusiasts seeking leatherwork that balances heritage, artistry, and contemporary flair, Xespansione Studio aims to deliver a distinctly fashionable statement.
