Overview
Spoke is a London-based online menswear brand that sells customized, better-fitting clothes directly to customers (direct-to-consumer). Customers select from a range of sizes and fits online to tailor each garment to their measurements, avoiding traditional retail shopping. The company differentiates itself by prioritizing customization and fit at scale through its internet-driven model, rather than a traditional brick-and-mortar approach. Spoke has grown through external funding, including a Series C round that raised $29.7 million and a later Seedrs crowd-funding round of £5 million, to expand its product range and international operations. The goal is to improve menswear fit and customer satisfaction while expanding globally and pushing the future of how men shop for clothing.
