At Padel Smash Academy, we love bringing inspiring stories from the world of Padel, business, and lifestyle. In our latest interview, Cesc and Julian sit down with Joseph Benlolo, partner at The Bespoke Club, to discuss his passion for Padel, fashion, and entrepreneurship.
Joseph Benlolo: From Vision to Reality
Nestled in the vibrant Brickell financial district in Miami, The Bespoke Club is a luxury tailor-made clothing brand that embodies style, craftsmanship, and exclusivity. But how did Joseph get involved in such a unique business?
Joseph's journey started with a passion for fashion, but he always saw the clothing industry as a complex and inventory-heavy business. That perception changed when his wife started working at The Bespoke Club, where he was introduced to the world of tailor-made fashion. Intrigued by the process and impressed by the craftsmanship, Joseph tried the product, fell in love with it, and ultimately purchased the business alongside his Italian partner, Simone.
Bringing a Vision to Life
With a background in real estate, hair salons, and entrepreneurship, Joseph describes himself as the visionary and creative mind behind his ventures. He believes in building strong teams, coming up with innovative ideas, and executing them through strategic partnerships. His business acumen allowed him to see an opportunity in The Bespoke Club, turning it into an elite tailor-made fashion brand that focuses on quality and service.
The Bespoke Experience: Elevating Wardrobes with a Personal Touch
Unlike off-the-rack brands, The Bespoke Club creates each piece uniquely for the client. The process involves:
-
Personalized Measurements – Each garment is tailor-made to fit the client perfectly.
-
Customized Design – Clients select fabrics, buttons, stitching, and styling to match their personal taste.
-
Italian Craftsmanship – The designs are sent to Italy for production, ensuring luxury quality.
-
Final Fitting & Adjustments – Once delivered, The Bespoke Club ensures every piece is a perfect fit.
To take exclusivity a step further, Joseph introduced a membership model that allows clients to pay a monthly fee and receive custom-made clothing throughout the year. With different membership tiers, clients can receive shirts, suits, polos, and more, tailored specifically for their lifestyle and profession.
Padel & Fashion: A Perfect Match
Beyond fashion, Joseph is an avid Padel player. He was introduced to the sport three years ago and quickly became hooked. With the rise of Padel among high-level professionals and entrepreneurs, The Bespoke Club saw an opportunity to bridge the gap between sports and luxury fashion.
They have already hosted Padel tournaments and collaborated with luxury fabric brand Loro Piana to provide custom suits for winners and VIPs. Joseph also envisions future collaborations with sports brands to create tailor-made sportswear.
A Vision for the Future: Expanding The Bespoke Club
Joseph originally considered franchising The Bespoke Club but later pivoted to a more experience-driven approach. Instead of traditional retail, he plans to launch a ready-to-wear collection focusing on luxury resort wear, using premium Loro Piana fabrics. His vision includes:
-
Seasonal Pop-Up Shops – Locations in Aspen, New York, and LA to showcase the exclusive collections.
-
More Padel Collaborations – Expanding the presence of The Bespoke Club in elite Padel tournaments.
-
A Growing Community – Continuing to build a network of high-net-worth individuals who value fashion, exclusivity, and sport.
