In 2014 Barclay cofounded Bespokery, a fashion brand powered by peer production. Barclay’s family are schmatta dealers going back five generations, he has been drawn to fashion since he was a child visiting the Middishade Factory his family owned, watching men and women cut, sew, and alter the famous Middishade suits. Bespokery’s ethos mirrors that which made Middishade great: good fabrics sustainably grown, fair wages for workers, and transparent conditions and methods in every step of the supply chain. Women of all shapes and sizes can use Bespokery’s marketplace to source high fashion made just for them. Bespokery is a fashion brand that leverages peer production to make bespoke clothing that is both beautiful and sustainable, launched in January, 2016.
