Oh interesting - hope they stay comfy! How do they assess what your feet need (i.e. to make the shoes accordingly, I presume)?
I grew up with tailor-made clothing from South Asia, but these days I tend to get it readymade from there instead (I'm lucky that I fit into fairly standard sizes, though sometimes I'm a bit tall - which is laughable by Western standards, since I'm under 5ft4!) I usually wear those just in high summer though - stick to Western clothing for winter.
I'd say I currently occupy more of a 'colourful' territory like you too, though I don't know about 'minimalist' - I like my jewellery & scarves, lol. I'm thankful that my South Asian heritage taught me how to mix colours beyond just the usual 'black/ denim with everything' (nothing against those who dress like that btw! Just that it looks 'unfinished' on myself). And pulling colours from a scarf, as a third completer piece
As for custom pieces, I've had it go both ways - I've learnt it's better to go with 'half custom' tailoring (a pre-existing design but you supply the colours & measurements). Whenever I've asked for 'just a small change' to the design (like a curved hem instead of a straight one, or adding a peplum), it never ends up the way I imagined (even if I supply drawings of what I'm imagining!)
TL;DR: I've been burnt too many times, being told they 'absolutely' can customise something for me, only for it to be so small or unlike what we discussed that I just don't bother with the back & forth anymore. This is why I'm reluctant to try the world famous tailors/ seamstresses out here in Hong Kong, despite everyone saying I should. Even family-recommended ones elsewhere haven't gone well, so I'd rather buy something that's 'almost' right already, instead of trying the 'from scratch' route.
Maybe I'm just too fussy? And longwinded
